BBC Chevette
I don't care what anyone says, I would love to drive this car.

That thing is beyond cool.....I don't normaly like stuff like that but as a former Chevette owner it makes me think what could have been.

Neat car.
Why the builder thought a 427 BBC needs 3.90 gears to get that lightweight moving is puzzling, a set of 3.07 cogs would more than suffice. |

Nice car. That is a lot of weight in that front end.

I thought the Monza and Vega were stretched to their limits in holding a small block in place. Wonder how much more that BBC weighs than the original Chevette motor. Maybe just keep it off rough roads - bouncing an engine that's 70% heavier on Chevette bits might not be such a bright idea.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
