      newbie here and 73 vega gt panel project

      hello new here friend of mine talked me into joining up after showing me a post with a guy doing a ECO swap into a chevette .

      well im kinda doing the same , but in a older chevy , a 73 vega gt wagon , which has had the panel inserts put in to replace the windows .

      the motor came from 1 of GM's play/test toy , the motor is a 2.2 eco that was built by wheel 2 wheel(understand they are no longer around :( ) , the motor made 262 hp , though i do plan on upping the ante some id like to make some where near 330-350 , though i will need a larger s/c for that .

      the other car below is my 06 gto with 6200 miles , ive also got a 04 gto with 11k , 68 elco , 29 model A tudor sedan , 92 olds scx W41

      well back to snooping around , any way on with the pics !

      I love wagons and I love the plan. Keep us updated. Looks like a super clean car.

      Nice project. I have not seen a Vega that clean in quite a few years.

      I had two of them back in the day. A '71 GT hatchback and a '74 GT Hatchback. Put a 350 in the '74 eventually. :-)

      thank you for the welcome guys , im still collecting some parts , so i can get started on the suspension , also got to put a motor in my 00 cavalier so i can sell it and buy a welder , and also give me the needed room to get the motor out of storage

      good luck

      will be watching this fourm too.

      really want to know if the normal garage junky can wire one of these direct injected ecotecs into an older vehicle.
