Coil pack mounting for the Fiero

Got my Coil packs today. I used a coil mount from a non Supercharged 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3800. This works perfectly to mount the coils close to the left trunk side of the Fiero and will allow me to use stock 3800 length spark plug wires which I have chosen to use the zzp 10.5 wires. I did have to get some longer coil pack screws since this mount is different from the one that came with my 04 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP supercharged engine. So I used (6) 10/32x1 1/2 screws.

Found my Donor engine and transmission

I searched high and low to find a low Mile 3800 Supercharged engine and transmission for my swap. I finally found one in Houston Texas. Cost me a bit more than I would have liked but it was one of the only ones I could find with low miles at just over 50k miles. It was in a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP.  At the time I did not get very good information as to what all was needed for the swap other than engine trans wiring harness computer and axles. Now I know better that I didn't need the wiring and computer from that car since it is a drive by wire in 04 and my Fiero is drive by cable so in order to make it work in my Fiero I need a 1997-2003 wiring harness and pcm. Would have been nice to know this before I bought the wrong stuff. Hopefully I can sell the 04 wiring harness and pcm and get some of my money back.
