Yup , I've been building mine for tooooooo loooong now , after screwing with two bad motors I decided to bite the bullet and have an engine built. The one in this video( if it loaded) is the first bad motor, it had a vibration in I couldn't get rid of or figure out. ( turns out it was NEVER BALENACED)

The second motor was basically a good sounding, good running junk yard motor, put it the car ran fine , took it for a five mile test drive and spun a barring

Pulled the car in the garage , pulled the motor out , brought both motors to a qualified,local engine builder and said " I want aluminum heads and at lease 450hp"

I should have my motor back with ALL NEW EVERYTHING, in a couple weeks,
Big cam , 383SBC 10.5/1 with aluminum heads, he says 450 on pump gas no problem.

I'm looking forward to it!

I put an automatic in mine , more controllable. Cutting this console in took some work but I'm pleased with the results

Looks like it came from Detroit like that.
The whole car looks nice and clean.

There were a couple Vega's at the local strip years ago. One was a wagon, tubbed out and a huge scoop on the hood. I never did see under it but I remember it was quick. I was just a little kid hanging out with Dad back then.

Chevy Monzas came stock w/a SBC motor, but there are few Monzas of any powerplant left on the road these days, I cannot recall the last time I saw one. Buick, Pontiac, and Olds all made a version of the Monza.

I think the Ford Anglias w/dragstrip powerplants were like the prototypes for the 'small vehicle, big engine' idea.

Your car brings back memories Rick....the Chevy dealer where I used to live had one in the showroom....not many days I didn't go in and drool over it! :drool:

Fiat Topolino's starting in 1936-55 and then the Ford Popular 1953-62(also know in the US as Anglia).
