Bought: May, 1982
Here is my 2.8 chevette,with a V6 from a 83 Pontiac Firebird,with a 5 speed transmission.I have run it with the carb last summer without trouble,I have swaped for the multiport from a 85 camaro this winter.Not tested on road,but run great.
Some pic of the engine with the carb system...
Some pics of the car in process last winter,before the body job,just after I put the engine in it.
It's very tight to some place,there is a little place for the chevette power steering pump.The oil filter is screw directly on the engine,no adaptor
I use a fan driven by the water pump,it's the factory fan,I have use a forklift truck pulley,bolt right here and bolt the fan on it,I use an electric fan mounted between the radiator and the bumper controled by a temp switch on the intake
Tight for the exhaust,I have cut a little part of the frame rail and weld it after for the passenger side exhaust,no problem with the driver side.
0.5 inch or clearance between the distributor cap and the heater box,but after the picture I have remolded the box for a better clearance
It's a firebird 5 speed,with a chevette clutch fork,tail,output shaft and speedometer gear installed in it
I think it's Toyota's rims,not sure,with 205/60r13 tires
