[Bryan Raffa]

Didnt win anything... but had a great day! with some awesome machines!:naughty:

First time I've seen a V-8 in a Fierro

[tommerp]

Holy crap..... That thing must be a bullet!

[Jon Boy]

nice, mean looking Yammy Raffa. just my opinion, the plain knobbies look outta place. :lol:

that v-8 Fierro reminds me of the one in a town north of me (need to get a pic next show i guess) it's just about like that one, but i want to say his motor is still in the back, because he has one of those pro-stock style scoops mounted on the pass. side of the engine cover on the back and the top sticks up above the roof. :lol:

even though i'm a Ford guy, those Chevys look very, very nice.

[pcollins]

Is that in Syracuse?

[jb2wheels]

There are some awesome V8 Fiero conversions using everything from SBCs to BBCs to LS6 and Northstars and Supercharged 3.8 V6 - all mounted transversely like the original. If you have some time to kill at work one day, it's worth a Google.

That picture with the 10 bolt under one raises a whole new set of "what's in that thing" questions...

[MIK6]

just my opinion, the plain knobbies look outta place. :lol:

them plain knobbies have coldcutter ice studs in them... they are sharp as hell ( i know from camping at tf and loading that thing on the trailor lol) hook up awesome and grow as they go down the track.. LOL

I like that trike, it looks like you got an extended swingarm since the last time I seen it. I have thought about doing something similar....I have a MX400 Yamaha engine just sitting around collecting dust so maybe it will find a home in a trike in the near future.

Nice work on that.

[Jon Boy]

oh ok, thanks Mike. oops sorry Raffa i didn't notice the ice studs.

[Six Stroke]

Hey Raffa, where did you get the white rad shrouds and airbox cover?

[Bryan Raffa]

Is that in Syracuse?

thats next weekend!


Shrouds were custom orderd white through DC plastic.. he can do any color ,, that he currently produces...black,red, yellow,white.ect

[just ben]

no matter what engine you put in it its still a fiero.kinda neat just not my style. the trike on the other handis a work of art

[RodKnockRacing]

awesome Raffa

[audioworks04]

seen plenty of v8 conversions in fieros, but never a front conversion with a solid rear axle, Thats alot of work to not gain much at least in my opinion. Good to see you had the 490 out in public for everyone to see.

[El Camexican]

That is a wild trike! Love the old school decals! Any issues with the fuel pump keeping up with the displacment? (Just noticed you have two tanks. They both feed together?) What about the frame handling the power? I had to repair the welds on my stocker where they cracked around the stem and where the cradle tubes meet the big one up front. My factory welds were awful, can't imagine they could hold up to that beast engine you have.
