Engine/trans swap/conversion
So I have a 1988 chevy cavalier and it's all original -
70k miles automatic and I'm just loving this car but
I'd like to do more with it. See I wanna make it fast,
also I wanna explore possibly converting it from
automatic to manual. What would be the best thing
to do? What swap would be the best/easiest
compatible for my bay? Or would it be better just to
keep the current 2.2 and overhaul with a possible
aspiration swap? Don't ask why I wanna make this
car nice I just do. And have a lot of questions on
how I would go about starting this? These being the
main things needing done, next to rims and body
mods/ things like that. Any info would be nice I have
a basic knowledge of cars and know people that
know cars but just thought I'd throw it out there.
You can contact me anytime with any info text 7173210982
Hi Eric! I don't think your car is worth the expense and you will have a hard time finding any performance parts for it as it has little potential.
I call bs dude lmao there's more modified than you can see trust that and it over powers the auto trans like no tomorrow broke at least five axles now an pass motor mount once now I'm running solid mounts that I fabbed up it's nasty
The only acessory on the car
