   I have to agree with everyone, dropping it out he bottom is the easiest way if you are doing any major work.  However looks like you are making progress the way you are doing it, and something is better than nothing.    Just a tip, everyone is saying drop it out the bottom but it does not look like anyone has mentioned the easy way to do it.  I see you have a cherry picker (engine hoist)  Removing the rear bumper is fairly easy.  Once the rear skin is off, you can wrap a chain around the impact beam and lift the back of the car from there.  It gives you enough clearance with the legs of the hoist that you should be able to slide the engine/trans/suspension/brakes/cradle out in one single piece.  Once it is all out on the ground in the open, it is SO EASY to work on things.  You can grab a pressure washer out and clean everything before you start to disassemble/reassemble everything. 

As for your engine choice, I did not mean to go off on a rant, it has just been a pretty bad couple of days for me. 

    Obviously any engine you choose will be better than a worn out duke, even if you choose to just tweak a duke to give it a bit more life.  (shave the head, bigger cam, better exhaust, better throttle body)  It won't make it an Indy Sprint car, but it still can be a spirited little car.   I have 2 fav engines, a 3.4TDC V6 motor or just about any V8.

Update: Dad inspected engine; all it needs is new head gasket.

I will be selling the engine,tranny, and exhaust. I will also be selling the catalytic converter on it, looks fairly new with from what i can tell no rust.

I was wondering what I should list these items for and what I should expect to get.

Thx again for all your help

Its got the 84' automatic

OK you need the

Shifter for the trans you decide

The Shift Cables

The Shift Hydraulics, Slave and Master

The standard trans engine for the motor you choose to use

The clutch for a V6 or a V8 (don't even bother with a  4 cyl clutch)

The Trans axle throwout bearing for the trans you use.  Bearing is Trans Specific NOT clutch specific like most parts stores think.

Everything else can be re-wired, and changed to eliminated the Neutral Start Switch, and a few other minor things.

Oh getting a Manual Trans ECM should be installed to really make things work, however you can get away with an Auto ECM to get you running.

Lastly and a kinda biggie, you need the ENTIRE clutch line that runs from the front of the car to the back of the car, as well as all the little odd nuts and bolts that it attaches with.

Oh Pedal assembly, get the entire pedal assembly from ANY standard trans Fiero.  However the later model ones usually have better pedals do to better material used.

I have done this swap myself, going from Auto to a 4spd, then later to a 5spd and will soon be doing a 5spd back to a 4spd swap.   If you pop to www.captfiero.com  There are lots of links to how I took my car apart and put it back together.
