pretty much any GM 3.8 or 4.3 can be built for a chevette i dont want to do a V8 becuase they are done alot and if i can get a 550 HP 3.8 or 4.3 v6 with a single turbo or twin turbo i think that would be more than enough to move that little car i will look more into the full frame work with tubing and such to see how well that might work i will ask my welder sometime this week what he thinks about it the only real problem i see with it is it is a 4 door but that just adds some weight to the car so that will help alot in the long run for a toy to drive around town but my main concern is wbout building the motor should i go for the 3.8 or 4.3 the 4.3 is pretty wicked bone stock in one of the little S10's i have found some intakes and carbs to fit one here in town for around 300 bucks today so just a carter 1100 CFM and an eld intake both used but still if they check out good they can be useful i would love to Duel Quad a v6 or build an intake to hold 6 1100 honda carbs 1 per cylinder we did that with a str8 6 motor a few years ago an old 292 it screamed in a Quarter for a buick apollo it was running 10.2
