Default Interesting idea....

Has anyone tried to do a Ecotech swap yet? Just wondering about the turbocharged 4cyl in the Soltice/Sky platform, and how someone could take advantage of that idea in a smaller car, perhaps a Corvair or VW Bug? Just a random thought...

I thought a turbo'd Ecotech in a Chevette would be a fun car. What would you do for transmission? We were thinking maybe adapt a TH350 somehow. That car would rage hard!!!

I lurk on pro touring also, pretty cool swap! With the 4 cylinder motors, its great for a lighter car but IMO you can beat a v8.
