i always wanted to pick one up cheap and put a v8 in it.
I think a chevette with a v8 could beat mustangs.

well there would be major traction issues...a chevette is something like 1900 lbs

if you could get good traction a decent setup in a chevette would beat most mustangs

ya thats the thing. theyre pretty light little shit cars. im not sure how feasable it is. i just thought id be sweet to smoke a few mustangs with a chevette! hehehe.

My brother told me the engine would bolt right on, but you'd have to fab up the motor mounts. Im gonna look around on the internet, im sure someone musta done this before...

where did you find that pic? "tubbed_chevette.jpg"

a sbc swap into a chevette or acadian is apparently quite easy...there's a kit that comes with everything you need.
i dont remember where the pic was from, ive had my eye on v8 chevettes for a long time

Those pics are caj! i can tell people have put alot of work into those.

its kinda funny to see them like that. since chevettes are known as little shit cars, most people dont treat them that good.

I was doing my search and i saw a chevette owners club! i never knew there was a club! heh. there proud to drive a chevette!




yeah man, you just say you drive a vette :P

That blower on that last one has more displacement that the original engine :o

And where the hell did the name, 'Chevette' come from? It's like a combination of CHEVelle and corVETTE, yet doesn't look like either one, and epecially doesnt have the perfromance of them.

I think they named it that because its like the entry level chevy, so they called it chev-vette! heh, i dunno. why do they call iroc's irco? is it cause they rock? heh.
