rwd del sol build
recently started work again on my del sol. the care was given to my boss , so we decided to do a rwd, v8 del sol .
so we did it !
she now sits with a chevy 4.3 vortec motor with a rare factory 4 barrel intake manifold. gasket matched ports . intake and ex . with a th400 transmission built with heavy duty cltches and sprage. stock 454 torque converter. putting the power to the ground is a chevy s-10 rear end with 4.10 gears and a full spool.
50 shot of bottle fed goodness !
frame consists of a 2x3 square tubing frame , with a roll bar . yes targa top is still functional .
front suspension is a total custom set'up built with multiple parts from various vehicles.
4 wheel disk , running a 50 series tire in the rear ! better than that we didnt even have to tub it !
as far as interior goes , we couldve gone with stock dash board and all with slight mods to the carpet for tranny tunnel , but we opted for more of a race care feel since our car came with no interior pieces.
will be posting pics as soon as i get the camera to take a charge .

Re: rwd del sol build
apologize for the delay , yes i do have a life lol my damn ef tried killing me today ..
and yes i said 4.3 which is NOT a v8 we originally planned to go v8 and we can very easily fit a 454 into this car, but as short as the whellbase is , we decided on going with the 4.3 platform.
and i said try to get the camera to take a chage, which by that i meant , its not wanting to take a charge . but i got cheap cell phone pics im trying to upload right now.

4.3 is a v6 engine buddy. now what you should do is pull that POS vortec engine out and put in a 3.8T from a regal t type or grand national. then it will be a "fun" car.

Re: rwd del sol build
Op if this build actually happened and you have pics PM me and I'll reopen this thread. Honestly this whole thing just sounds like complete BS. You might be able to shoehorn a 4.3L in Del Sol, but a 454 I'd say you're going to have move the firewall back, a lot.
