Trying to play it smart
The '87 Chevette Scooter is sitting in a relations barn right now. I am trying to price this project out strictly, and brakes could be an issue. The Quad4 (180HP) is connected to a T5 by a Quad4 Rods adapter.
The Quad4 did have early design flaws (bad head gaskets, cracked heads, oiling problems...little stuff) but these were fixed. I have a '92 LGO code in W41 trim. It is not a refined engine (like a Honda) it sounds ugly and harsh when uncorked. The Chevette weighs in at under a ton so it should really haul. I suspect the Quad4 weighs less than the lump that is in it now. In my opinion, the problem with the Quad4 was the crappy cars it was put into and the East/West positioning.
