    Interesting about the stock air filter being restrictive. That's what I'm using with my 3500 swap an it still dynoed at over 200whp.

        You talking about those scoops that come up over the roof? I guess they're functional but I think they're pretty ugly haha.

            If it's the one that says HOLLEY on it, those are the original aftermarket side scoops. They used to go for a lot of money on Ebay, but haven't seen many of them around anymore. Fiero Store was making there version that said FIERO on them, but last I heard, they discontinued them also.

                  We use the later model with 3400 SFI grounded off. Unless you have a mirror on your decklid, looks kinda weird staring at it upside down.

                  here's what it looked like when I did the swap the first time, alternator is in stock location.

                      Unfortunately, it only fits the iron heads.

                        Even then, not worth it... unless it's built just for show.

                          agreed.
