Guest Frank280z Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Somebody emailed me a while ago about this. I came across this from grannypots rx7 page. http://www.chrfab.com/index.htm These guys make the northstar useable in a rwd application!!! Manual transmission bellhousings also! $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Take a wild guess where the starter is. Pretty HOT design IMO, but compact . Would work great in a Fiero! If you go to thier page, check out the projects. The sand buggy that's pictured in the upper left is pretty bad@ss! I have lots of pictures of it, if anyone is interested. !M!

Guest JAMIE T Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 I've got one I'll sell you cheap. It's taking up space in my garage. It's got very low miles on it(maybe 200) The oil has never even been changed. It's practically a brand new engine. I've never run it though. I can email you a pic if your interested. I'll take $700 for it. Don't get the bellhousing from CHRfab. Get the trans and bellhousing from a V6 '93+ F-body(Camaro/Firebird). The bellhousing will require very little mods and the 5spd is a World class T5. All you will need would be a flywheel from CHRfab. Get the Holley Commander 950 from them as well. You can run the stock EFI intake and injectors(included with the engine I have). I would recommend a remote water pump also. Alan at CHRfab got that idea from me. We have spoken extensively about the Northstar conversions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frank280z Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Sounds great Jamie. But 1, I most definitely can not afford to bo that route just yet... And 2 You're half way there..If you were going to do that conversion. That would be very unique!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Well guys, I'm a Horsepower junky. Bottom line is, that motor CAN make enormous HP. But, I can't afford to do it either. To make the HP I need, takes big bucks with the Northstar. I was all ready, and had the bugs worked out. Then decided to get a 351W that I had built years ago from my brother. Then(now) I have decided to use the LT1 from my Z28 with the 6spd. So, maybe one day I'll use that Northstar. It's not costing me anything sitting on the pallet, so, I'll just sit on it until I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utvolman99 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I dont think you want a Northstar. My father ownes a shop. About two months ago we had one come in needing a rebuild. You wouldnt even begin to believe how much the parts cost for that little jewel. As far as we could find there was no aftermarket availible we had to go to the dealer for everything. If I remember right a set of rings ran us close to $500!! I am pretty sure the gasket set was even more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
