Ran into this on another forum. 3.5 swapped into a Fiero. The guy was having stalling/starting issues after the transplant. Turned out to be crank sensor. Shame to see an M go away but a rather interesting build....

I'm a member of that forum (I have an 88 Fiero GT) and I've been following that swap. It's very nicely done!

To add to my experience with these engines I just looked up some pictures I had taken during a trans engine replacement and it was a 2000 Concorde with the 3.2 that had a messed up trans and a trashed engine. I dissasembled the junked engine and found the sludge in the bottom of the pan along with a bad timing chain and of course a trashed rod.

someone in the thread is kinda confused.

lot of work. good thing he likes the results.
