What a great sounding project, and what a wild ride,

We don't have Chevette's over here, (only individually imported ones)

The 3.8 you talk of, is it Buick? Cause Holden (GM) use a 3.8 litre V6 in their Commodore (derived from a buick), 5 seat family sedan, rear wheel drive. (Dime a dozen) they run a supercharged version from factory, there are also some aftermarked mobs doing the mod, some with a A/C compressor pulley, to switch it on and off.
