I have seen Chevettes with 350's in them (for drag race use) so I don't see why you would not be able to drop a 2.8 in it. It's a nice compact engine and it...
One of the car magazines (Hot Rod? Car Craft?) put a 501 Caddy motor in a Chevette. They had to cut out most of the firewall and steer from the back seat but...

I think that back in 1986, I read that somebody in GM had the brilliant idea to drop a 2.8 V-6 into a Chevette in order to boost its anemic performance. After...
Good news! I'm nearing the stage on my '67 Sportwagon where I must decide to replace the "wood" or have the trim removed and the holes filled. What's your...

4.3 is much wider and heavier, so the 2.8 would probably be an easier conversion without much tweaking of the suspension... ... From: Arthur Throckmorton To:...
Ask Brian about the painted wood grain. I would be hard pressed to believe one of Chrysler's best sellers of all time is going out of production, but hey if it...

My apology to both Steves - I did remember that we had at least one member in Alameda. Warren (for the "new" Steve, he's our Moderator West and group founder...
It wouldn't be the first time a major auto manufacturer ceased production of one of their best-selling cars - witness Camaro/Firebird from GM. The outcry was...
