How about using a 4.3 V6 and manual Transmission out of a early 90's chevy pickup?
If you really do have a Vauxhall Chevette, the body will need a load of strengthening before you even think about a better motor/transmission. (and upgrade the brakes) It will crack the floor pan along transmission tunnel if you fit decent suspension (at least, if you corner hard, the body twist's but the wheels stay on the ground)
Horsepower TV recently built a 268 horsepower 2.3L that ran a carb and no forced induction. There's a lot of power to be had in those little motors. If you don't want to invest a lot in building a motor, than the V6 would probably be the better path.
Is that a Pontiac T1000?
It was called the Pontiac Acadian here in Canada. We also had our own version of the Nova that went by the same name. I just always refer to it as a Chevette to people because more people know what a Chevette is.
No...no...no.....
It's a PONTIAC!
I love Pontiacs, and I love rally cars!
Which means, I love this project that much more now!
Do you have the car?
Do you have a list of things the car needs?
WHOA! Is that a connecting rod?
No....that's what's LEFT of a connecting rod. Lol
