    72 Vega GT Wagon Hybrid Conversion

    Vega My '76 Standard Vega HB had the 6.5, 2.92 geared rear end in and held up just fine with a built 4.3 & TH350 set-up. The S-10 rear can be used, just need to cut off the leaf spring pads and weld on the 4 link brackets. If you get a rear from a 4 cyl S-10 with manual trans, it will have...

    Boosting a Stock V8?

    Turbo V8 There are several companies making inexpensive SBC kits. The OLDS 307 was also optional in the Regal platform. A 455 Olds would be cheaper to "pep-up" the car, although "your milage may vary". The TH 350 would need to be hopped up as well to handle more output. Personally I'm...
