Yep, I'm going to chime in with the bunch. The 1965 3 speed is a top loader and does NOT have a synchro first gear, the 1965 4 speed is a side loader and...

I am getting closer to painting my avenger. I have sold my two corvairs (kept the low mileage 110 engine). I also got rid of my truck or more so it was on its...
Mike Tell me the reasoning behind building the booth. I'm just curious. Safety? Cleanliness of the paint job? keeping the overspray from the rest of the...
I will likely want to paint more cars than just the avenger. I could use the tarps they can only be used once (not a huge deal). I think the big thing is I...
I just saw clear vinyl on Ebay a week or two ago. There are companies that make curtains designed for separating areas on a not so permanent basis. with clear...
I was driving my daughter's '93 MX-6 the other day thinking what a sweet drivetrain it had. Anybody tried stuffing one of them in the back of an Avenger? ~450...
Any FWD drivetrain can be mounted in the rear to make a mid-engine design. It will require a custom frame. Or you can mount the engine to the VW transaxle...
Paint booths are very nice for keeping the paint job clean. You will need to use explosion proof lights and fans. The fans must have filters to keep out as...
... roger-eric has a lot of experence with these engines and kit car frames. 200hp today would be equal to about 250hp of yesteryear and you would be hard...
Won't fit.... Think about it, if an inline 4 would fit, might as well put a V8 in. You have the width. That would be for a VW adaptation anyway. Custom...
Ah, but I have a GT-15, the tube framed, Corvair drivetrain version of the Avenger, so I don't have the VW issues. BTW, the engine is a 2.4L V6 - transverse...

The options are out there ... how about a WRX motor? With todays 4 and 6 cylinders the only reason to do an eight would be to avoid the electronics. I know, I...
You might have to remove the rear section of your frame and build a new one, but the Mazda drivetrain should fit. I would be surprised if it was too high....
Talking about using the Mazda front suspension for the rear of an Avenger brings something to mind. Many years ago, I had an Avenger with the front end, ...
Honda prelude had it too. I remember pulling one in the shop on a rainy day. The tire patterns blow your mind. You could barely tell the rear wheels were ...

V6's I can see.... But, they're still not as long an inline-4 plus accessories. Personally, I would choose the Nissan 3.0, a very compact package. I myself...
If we are talking Valks or mid engine setups then there is lots of room for most any engine. The Valkyrie was designed for a V8 that had the trans between the...
