John M. Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM Posted yesterday at 01:10 PM I've seen Chevettes packing Vortec V6s and the occasional small Chevy small block but never a 427 big block. The car looks factory and is a real sleeper. However, the owner had to really and I mean really had to strengthen the car's unibody so it wouldn't get turned into a pretzel by the engine's torque. 4 1

Shark Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago I love it. I had a Chevette one time, probably the most dependable car I owned. Actually be looking at Craigslist and other places for one. I have a Chevy 4.3 V6 engine and think that would make a neat little swap.
Mark Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago A guy around here had one with a Buick Grand National V6 (but the early type, without the intercooler). Haven't gone to the drag strip more than once or twice a year, but haven't seen it in a long time. Another local guy built a Ford EXP with a Boss 429 back when those cars were fairly new. Never saw it on the street (though it was registered), only saw it at a couple of indoor car shows.
