[net.auto] Pontiac's Super Duty Fiero engine

hal@aesat.UUCP (Hal Patnaik) (10/07/84)

Hi people.  I need some information on Pontiacs 2.5L  4  cylinder
engine.   The  engine  has had some modifications over last years
model (the one in the base fiero) and Pontiac  has  added  Roller
valve lifters.

The information I need is on how to change the  engine  into  the
"Super Duty" 4 that Pontiac has advertisements for in several car
magazines.

I am not interested in applications for the fiero, but rather for
the  new Grand Am.  The V6 option is $1100 here in Canada because
you have to get the Automatic.  If there is some way  of  getting
some  more  oomph  out of the 4, then I will just get the 5-speed
and the smaller engine, and then fix it up a bit.

The car is real nice, but as usual, GM lures you  with  low  base
prices, and then massacres your wallet on the options.

What can you do?

Thanx for any help you can give me.  Please reply by e-mail.
