Thanks for the tips, guys! I will start looking into the Miata situation first and see where that leads. Will keep you in the loop.

Vicenc,! Great to hear from you again.
And what a great problem to have.
Obvs none of us on here have done a BCW front engine swap yet but it’s entertaining to think about what we could or would do if your car was ours.
My first stop on the innerweb is a search of what engine swaps work in a Chevette. Turns out the 60-degree chevy V6 (the o…[Read more]

Have you ever considered a Miata transplant? I don’t believe you were at Carlisle the year “Bob” from Nova
Scotia showed up with a TF replica based on the Miata platform. Powerful enough with plenty of upgrades available.
Good luck on your endeavor.

Hi all,
I have a Chevy Chevette BCW with the original engine, transmission and running gear. I would like to upgrade it to make it a more enjoyable driver. I know Bill stuffed a V8 into his Ford based TD and Ed put a Subaru engine in his VW BCW. If any of you have any ideas about what I can do to upgrade my Chevy, I would love to hear th…[Read more]

Excellent, Greg. As Bill mentioned, here’s the hotel info.

We usually stay as a group at the Courtyard Marriott in Mechanicsburg. They have given us a break on room rates and allowed use of their conference room for us to hang out. Pricing has not been finalized for this year yet. Looking forward to it.

Well another VA Beach trip is in the books. Unfortunately, the use of the rain date resulted in the loss of the great Ed Ericson but the weather was superb. I left at 5:30 Friday morning and met with Dale at Horne’s for a late breakfast in Port Royal, VA then a beautiful ride along the river on 17 then on into VA Beach. Arrived at 4:30 after 11…[Read more]

Please PM me with your address and I will send a donation by check.

Change of plans. I can’t count on the MG running cool enough to make the trip. I will, instead, take a chance with Roy’s Mini. That’s been trouble free now for quite a while. Just a heads up. Wish me luck.

A good upholstery shop or boat shop could make these.
