'749 in Fiero NOW: 5-speed manuals

[sapearso at rockwellcollins.com]

I have the engine at the shop, and the trans is still at the yard (didn't
want to
put it in the trunk), planning to pick it up Friday, so will compare it
then and pass
along my findings.

Will poke around the DIY_EFI archives this weekend, see what it's got to
say. They
frown on using internet for cool stuff here at work.

Any idea what years the 3.3L / 5-speed combo was used in the "N" cars?
Also, what
is an "N" car?

Ok, this is an oldie.  It's all over the DIY_EFI archives.  A flywheel and
clutch can be obtained from a 3.3l Buick v6 as used in some N body cars w/
5
speed trans.  The flywheel may need balancing to match the balance on the
3.8l
flexplate.

 I have never before heard that there are different fwd bellhousings, but
I'm in
no position to say it's not true.
