Rough budget I’d expect  $1000 for parts car  $500 clutch (spec 2+/3+) $300 flywheel (buy pre cut down and balanced from Fiero Rog in the Fiero Facebook groups)  $200 fluids (trans fluid, coolant, oil etc)  $200 clutch/flywheel bolts (GM tty bolts are pricey)  $100-200 passenger side axle    this doesn’t include any fabrication costs and any other “while you’re in there” costs  and assumes you are doing all of the labour   I’m sure you can do it cheaper but id be budgeting up to $3,000 all said and done       

Hopefully you get a notification to see this since it's been so long but I'm thinking about trying this in the future once it's not my daily but do you have any idea how much it was to do this

Depends. The dash lights may be voltage regulated and not susceptible to it. You would likely notice it in the interior lights, but you're typically not driving around at night with those one.  The blower and the headlights are the 2 big ones where you tend to notice it, but i seem to recall only noticing it in the blower when it was on high. At lower fan speeds, it's already running at enough of a reduced voltage through the blower resistor so it's not really noticeable. I noticed it the most during the winter, as the blower was often on high, rear defroster was used regularly, ABS activation on slick roads was not uncommon, and sunrise around 8:30 AM and sunset by 4:30 PM meant daily commuting required headlight use in both directions.  The initial ABS activation caused the headlights to dim slightly and briefly every single time until the alternator ramped up to meet the demand.  

And also im theory if it was at the battery then wouldn't I also see my dash lights or anything else inside dim at the same time?

Okay cool! All great info. Ill report back in a couple of weeks! Gonna do the LED and if that doesnt work try the harness!
