Default Schwartz Performance Vega

Kind of a lower buck customer project.
It's getting an LS engine and a lot of suspension work.
We got a complete 38,000 mile aluminum 5.3 from a Buick Ranier for $700.
The rear end is a 3.42 posi 8.5 inch 10 bolt from an S10 2wd 5 spd 4.3 which is the same width as the original Vega unit and it has disc brakes.
We're calling it the "Flying Turd"

That should haul ass with the 5.3 in it. I bet it would be a blast to drive too.

Looks like a solid candidate. It'll be interesting to see what you do with it. I hope you stick with the sleeper looks.
