Hi Norm, I've just been so busy on the Fiero swaps that I haven't had time for anything for about 6 or 8 months now.

We had record snowfall for this area this last Winter & I only got the Sol out a couple of times during the Winter.

Sunday I drove the Sol for the 1st time this year with the top down. So the first thing I did was smash the Front Air Dam on a parking curb.

So I took it off the car for repairs this week.

I'm going to be putting an LS3 in the Sol in a few weeks. Externally the LS1, LS2 & LS3 are just about identical. As pointed out already each one is a bit more power than the last.

It's pretty hard to find a new crate LS1 anymore because they are out of production now. The LS2 was pretty much the engine to go with until about 3 months ago when the prices of LS3 Crate engines dropped down to just a few hundred $$$ more than an LS2.

The LS376 is out now too, It's the same as an LS3 but with the GM Hot Cam kit. That takes it to 480hp.

Anyway staying kinda busy, the Sol has been like kinda a hobby for more than a year now. I'm starting to get more interested now in my Sol because of the better weather & the upcoming switch to an LS3.

I'm sure I'm gonna need the fender vents when I get the LS3 in there.

Have you done anything with the hood or fender flares?

Right now I have 3 LS Fiero swaps in process. An LS7 in the foreground the LS3 in the rear left & the LS376 rear right.
