4.9 swap question
(Archive: TD&Q - by Dragon1, started: 07-04-2003, last post: 2004-02-23 13:39:12 CET)
Do I have to remove the decklid springs for clearance for the 4.9 motor? I have a Rodney Dickman strut so it's not a problem if I do.

What can I do to get the maximum performance from my stock 4.9?
(Archive: TD&Q - by Mastermind, started: 10-03-2003, last post: 2004-02-23 13:36:15 CET)
My 4.9 already runs good but I would like suggestions to improve its performance without opening it up. Should I get new spark plug wires? AC Delco, Bosch? Which brand of spark plugs are best for this motor? I'm open to all suggestions.

4.9 wiring question
(Archive: TD&Q - by GT, started: 01-31-2006, last post: 2006-08-11 13:09:57 CEST)

4.9 Auto Transmission
(Archive: TD&Q - by gem1138, started: 03-26-2009, last post: 2010-04-21 09:19:08 CEST)
I have heard bad things about the reliability of the transmissions that accompanied the Cadillac 4.5 thru 4.9 engines.Is there a grain of truth to these rumors?I have heard several times: ”Oh, you have a Fiero? I heard they catch fire a lot.”Where there’s no smoke, there’s no fire.

(Archive: TD&Q - by Psychosis39, started: 08-14-2003, last post: 2004-07-10 10:39:07 CEST)
Well I started talking to a performance muffler shop, he seems to do quality work because I always see muscle cars and tuner cars in the parking lot. So we talk and I give him the whole simplistic idea of bending a y-pipe into a single outlet muffler to one tip going out. Well he says why try and...

One more time. I am trying to recreate the exhaust that Ed Parks puts on his 4.9 swaps. I know that in at least some cases he uses a cat that connects directly into the center of a tube muffler. Can anyone tell me what size/kind of Catalytic converter or Tube muffler can be used in this...
