Do you plan on using the GN tranny? I know there is at least one active person on here who has done this to there fc. Look around enough and you will probably find who it is. I don't remember exactly.

Aren't those auto's? Ewww auto in a FC don't do it!

The 3.8 turbo is a popular swap for the fiero guys too. But I guess they only run 12's with it.
