1974ChevyVega's 1974 Chevrolet VegaThis is my 1974 Chevy Vega Hatchback. I purchased it from my dad for 300 bucks and a used ps2 that I bought for him at a game store. So far I have paid 100 bucks to tow it to my gramps shop from where it set. I have already replaced all four tires with new ones and spent close to a grand on parts to get it closer to running. I have the majority of the parts in the car waiting to be installed but I still have to find the odds and ends like missing brackets and bolts that the previous owners removed! It still sports the original 2.3 Sohc inline 4 cylinder. It came with the optional 2 barrel carb. The car is a automatic! It currenly doesnt run but it is a work in progress and shoud run real soon! Once its running im going to use it as a daily driver / Cruiser/ weekend bruiser but with 85 hp the only thing its gonna bruise is my ego when 16 and 17 Yr olds walk by me in their imports!  As for my dreams for it I plan on building a 4.3 V6 to swap into it, bolting up some swaybars and throwing a set of Centerline wheels and some BFG tires on it! I want it to run and sound good but remain relatively low key have a little muscle car look to it you know being American and all but I want it to handle well and not be a drag car! Although I may take it to the strip occasionaly thats not the intentions I have for it its gonna be a cruiser and part time bruiser kinda of a do it all kinda setup! Well if you want to comment my car or have any opinions or info on V6 swaps and handling setups please feel free to comment me! 1974ChevyVega's 1974 Chevrolet VegaMe and my car before any work on it at all!

4.3 verry good engine but tuff on gaz, keep it automatic but use a 700r4 tranny (overdrive is good for gaz but 3 first gear same as regular tranny)make sure u have an anti-slip differential or u wont be able to put that power to the ground. try to keep tires equal front and rear to keep you endeling. dual ehaust take your time and have fun !

Nice Vega. I like your choice of a 4.3 for her. Will give her plenty of sqirt and still return very respectable mileage. Keep up the good work.

Out of the three...Well the Ventura was sold about a year an a half ago. But the Blue car only has 90hp which is why I'm plannin a turbo swap. The Ventura & The Z have similar horsepower but the Vent had a auto trans an alot of low end torque I had it up to 130mph one tome. The Z handles alot better than the Vent and has a higher top speed.

If your gonna swap then you haveta decide weather you want drag speed or track speed. Theyre way diffrent an will effect your motor choice. Either way I love that car. And the pontiac version.
