That's a very nice combination you have there. So what does this thing run in the 1/4 mile?
@fabtofast
@fabtofast 3 күн бұрын
Thanks! Running 1/8 mile events 8.80 at the moment, so like a 13.9 - 14ish 1/4 mile. New tires are planned for next season and hoping to get down the quarter around a 13.7

I feel like the golf is better, not rwd like the chevette but still the superior platform. Nice performance plus jacket! Good to see a local guy putting out car content. My buddy Brandon put a 4g63t in one, she was a ripper!

My friend did a 2.8 swap and he met a guy with a 3.8 swapped Chuvit back in the 80s. The latter Chuvit raced another friend with a Gen 1 Supra so hard on the mountain roads that it blew its straight six engine.

My friend put a 60* V6 2.8 out of a Firebird and a 700R4 out of a Corvette in his Chuvit, back in the 80s. Fun times.

An 84 CS was my 1st car in late 89. As it turned out, it was pieced together from a 76, a 79, and an 81. It had a few issues unique to Chevettes, such as the shift lever jumping out of reverse when backing up sometimes and wasn't the coolest car in a HS parking lot, but it was great for what it was. A lot of happy memories of roaming the Middle-TN country roads and crusing the small towns too with my buddies.

Crazy to think nobody has heard of the L67 or the 3800 in general, they're very well known and beloved. Also the 3800 was available in the Camaro and Firebird, the real shame is that they never came in any trucks or vans.

I bought a new 1977 2 door Chevette as a commuter car. It served me well until I traded it for a new 1979 Buick Regal. The Chevette turned out to be the better car

I live in Oklahoma, and we have summers as severe as Alberta winters. AC is necessary when summer arrives. Triple digits temperatures are standard.when you turn on the AC in the chevettes if feels like the emergency brake were applied. As a kid I lived in Calgary 1963-65 as my dad worked for an oil company. I loved my time there and still have dear friends in Calgary. Cheers from Oklahoma. PS I subbed

It's not too often a video comes across my "recommended for you" list that I really like, but this is definitely an exception lol. Not too sure where in Saskatchewan you are but you should seriously consider road-tripping to Street Machine Weekend out here in Lethbridge this coming July. Would love to check out the Vette in person, it's pretty dang cool! Cheers from Taber, AB!

Thanks! basically it is a chevette heater core and fan. I used 1.5” ABS plumbing to connect it all to the factory defrost vents. There is a google drive folder in the description of this video with the STEP and STL files if you want to take a look at them. It is pretty rough as I slammed it together in two days but its a start. to improve I would definitely go to 2” ABS
