My project car
Thursday, March 31, 2005 3:26 PM
I'm looking to start a new project car. I plan to use a Chevrolet Chevette. I want to use a Cavalier engine w/ S10 running gear. I wanted to know if the 2.4l engine uses the same transmission as the 2.2l engine does. If different, are they atleast interchangeable?

No it doesn't, the internals are interchangable, but the bellhousings don't bolt up.

Chevette~!~!

I was gonna buy one when I was younger, but I couldn't get my foot to fit betweent the brake pedal and the hump in the floor. In otherwords, I couldnt' get to the gas pedal.
Guess it doesn't matter, cuz you have to pedal those bastids anyway.

Just do like my friend... drop a 86 Buick Grand National engine in there (Turbo of course) with a muncie M-21 tranny behind it. (bell housing was purchased online somewhere) with a complete MSD ingnition system. Only problem he has had is keeping the tread on the tires. Talk about a ballsy car...


Can you keep up?

What are you talking about? I didn't mention anyhting about making it FWD or Fuel Efficient.

Thanks for all the replies guys. As for the reason of using a cavi motor, I want to keep the weight distribution on the car fairly even and not so nose heavy. The purpose isn't for all out speed, but all out performance, whether it's autoX, drag, drift, whatever I decide to throw the car into.
