about 20 years ago my cousin and i kicked around the idea of a sbc chevette and since then i have always wanted to do something with one of these cars. they weigh about 2000-2200 pounds which is nothing.
well i know more now than i did 20 years ago and i now want to put a 87 intercooled engine in. i believe the 200r4 will bolt right in since the car currently has a 200c in it. i realize the 7.5 rear wont make it so i am already figuring on taking a 8.5 and making it fit.
v6 engines and sbc have been swapped in these cars before and from what i read hooker even used to make a kit to put a buick v6 in one. my only real foreseeable hurdle is wiring up the car to make the engine work. i already have the correct harness and relays ecm ETC... for the engine but how do you make the harness work with the dash harness? i know caspers makes a $800 stand alone harness but i really prefer not to go that route.
any help or links would be appreciated
