my brother had a modded fast chevette. he decked the head put a cam in it and put 2.25" exhaust, plus re jetted the carb. thing was pretty quick and would get 3rd gear rubber in the dry. drifted ok, altho with such a short wheelbase would come around pretty quick.

Fun toys, much like Shady said, drifting can be a bit tricky, but it's easy to mod and get some oomph out of.

Took some ball park measurements. The 2.8 will fit. Will need to machine and Fab up tranny mounts and chop up some drive shafts and wire. Slam it with wider tires think this could be something here.

The wider tires will need flares or a tub. Brother had 205 on it all the way around and it rubbed even with rolling the fenders. Once you blow ur first diff an s10 diff fits really nice. Trust me. Lol
