I am not sure yet. Likely an aftermarket clip of some sort, the modded front end on there now will not work.

Some guys have done simple S10 spindles and a-arm swaps to the stock front and gone pretty fast around corners, but you can't get any tire up front that way.

I wonder if the track width is close to that of an early Nova?

that's a nice car Dale!

hmmmmmmmmmmm......... interesting. I know S10's can be made to handle decently, and they also take an LS swap, so there's hope. :)

^^^^^^^^ Glad to be some help Jody!

S10's are basically g-body front suspensions (or, for the optimists of the group.... the g-bodys also use the S10 suspension up front :D ).

Heres the wheels you need for that lil vega.http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/f...hid=818AA10424

yeah, those are cool, but I need an 11-12" wheel on the rear; want to take advantage of the mini-tub....................... :D

Woah! Youre gonna stuff some serious rubber in those fenders! Now thats going to look killer that little Vega with huge rollers on the rear. :thumbsup:

the rear wheelwell is 15" wide with the minitub. I need to see what will fit up front after doing some sort of custom subframe, and then balance the rear tire size with that. In other words, I don't want 335's out back if I can only fit a 235 up front....................... :wow:

Thanks for the compliment Jody! As far as trying to fit a wide tire up front, I would rule out the s10 spindle swap entirely. The track width was actually a little wider than stock Vega when everything was said and done with Wilwood brakes. The front rim on that car is only 4" with a centered backspace, and to get the car as low as it is in the picture, the tires are setting with more negative camber than I would like on the street. I would go custom entirely. Good luck with your project! I can't wait to see more!

me too it is a cool car

Greg arent you always making up stories :lol:

Yeah Luke --- I'm a regular fibber with my pants on fire... :rofl: :rofl:

Greg your too funny and you forgot your trademark
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Glad to see someone doing this. My first car was a vega, pos motor like others said but fun car otherwise.

I have been thinking about building one as well. Corner carver cosworth vega with a turbo charged cosworth engine 400-500hp.

Looking forward to seeing how much front tire you can stuff in there.
