@@RustedRides If a pontiac 400 is a big block, I wouldn't recommend it unless it's just going to be a drag car going in a straight line. A small block 400 with a quadrajet (or similar) and an automatic and the right gearing, plus the GT sway bars and proper v8 springs can result in a very nice driving car as long as the car itself is reasonably straight. A 327 with an afb (or similar) and a standard can be a real screamer. I don't remember as much about how well the 400/auto did because I was about 5 and most of what I know about it was stories my dad told. But I drove the 327 one in high school. It'd burn the tires in all 4 gears (if I remember right, we were running 3:23 gearing in the rear end. it's been a while stock 4 banger gearing was insane. I think think the rear end was from a v8 monza, but needed the vega suspension mounts welded onto it, as the rear suspension got changed in the later years. our's was a 72 though, and I've heard that the late model vegas had the redesigned rear suspension, so those might have the same mounts as the monza). 0-60 was 4 seconds, or maybe a little less. basically, you drop the clutch in 1st, then shift, drop shift, drop, shift drop, then let off the gas, and by the time the tires stopped spinning, you were already going 60. I don't know the top speed because we never got a speedometer cable to survive past about 120. (not because we were accelerating too fast :P something must've been wrong with the housing or something. like maybe it was kinked. the internal cable would come unwound and rip apart) Anyway, a lot of the parts for the v8 monzas will just bolt right in. If you run a 327 with a standard, i don't recommend a quadrajet style carb. ours never liked them for some reason. Don't really know why. But I don't like the way the power comes in. It might be okay with an automatic. I always thought a 5 speed/overdrive would have been nice, because you run out of gears long before you run out of power... but then again, you might not want/need to be reaching the kinds of speeds you could hit with an overdrive in that car, soooo.... lol Anyway, good luck with your build :) OH! and if you have the older style rear suspension, and the car ever starts to sort of lift and drop, lift and drop (sort of like a very slow bounce) in the rear as you decelerate... Check your rear suspension arms! Cause I ripped an upper one loose, and didn't realize it. It just started doing that slow bounce when I'd slow down in gear and I didn't know what it was. Then I went out of town into this nice long curve while testing out a new clutch, jumped it up to a hundred, and as the wheels started to drift out a bit I let off a little... And it started that *bounce* in the rear, but *not* so slow this time. The outer rear tire locked up and the car started skidding and spinning slowly toward the inside of the corner. I had just enough time to tell my buddy in the passenger seat "hold on" before we went across the shoulder and into the grass. There was a bit of a hill and we went sliding up that, sideways, turning slowly, as a barbed wire fence was flying by a few feet in front of us. Then, by the time we were fully backwards, we were sliding back down the hill, back towards the highway. And by the time we'd come to a stop, what seemed like an eternity later, we were facing straight toward the road, which was about 20 feet in front of us. So jumped out to check the tires, then jumped back in, turned the key, and got us the heck out of there lol. Then we went to the car wash to spray off all the evidence, and found tons of weed sticking out between the tires and the rims lol So, yeah, if you are going to go having fun in fast cars, *don't* ignore strange handling issues that spring up ;)

@@HAL-dm1eh Not sure if you mean smallest *externally*, or smallest *internally*, because the old small block chevy used the same block for everything from 262 cu in, clear up to 350 cu in, and then there was also the 400 cu in sbc, which was still the same size externally, but I don't know if Ii'd say the 400 uses the same block, since the cylinders were siamesed... And I believe ford used the same (external size) small block for engines ranging from 221 cu in up to 302? To be honest, I don't know a lot about fords, but... I once drove a friend of mine's 65 mustang with a 260 and manual tranny. *loved* the engine. Very rev happy, which is what I like :D The *car* wasn't quite so lovable though... lol I don't mind a little rust, but this car was hurting, baaaad. Like, when you accelerated, the harder and longer you accelerated, the more the steering wheel would turn to the right. The *car* would still be going straight, but to keep straight you had to let the steering wheel turn to where it wanted. So it'd get turned clear around to, like, the 3 o'clock position, then you'd let up on the gas and put in the clutch to shift, and the steering wheel would snap back to centered (12 o'clock). I never looked under it to see what in the world was causing that... But the engine was darn nice :) And the car I've probably loved the most in my life was a Sunbeam Tiger II my dad had when I was a kid. I never drove it, cause I was, like, 5 lol but he'd take me for rides and I loved the sound of that 289 as it purred and roared... So I've always had a soft spot for 289s :) I never drove a hot 302 in a small car, so I don't really have any experience with them, although I actually have one on an engine stand that I got for a project that never got started... And with chevys, I never really got interested in the 350s. I've driven a couple of nice ones, but they never excited me as much as the 260/289 ford, or 327 chevy did. Didn't have the sound, didn't rev the same. Of course, those engines were all in cars that had manual transmissions, and weighed around 2500 lbs or less, so that probably helped with the excitement level ;P

I painted a motorcycle with that exact paint. It was a pretty color. But it didn't cover very well and took 4-5 cans to get the job done. While I didn't have a can that was that far off, from one can to another there were slight shade differences and needed a mist coat to level out the color overall. I couldn't imagine doing a whole car. My suggestion if someone were to rattle can a car I'd suggest something like rustoleum and using a solid color since it is more consistent. Metallics don't atomize well from a can.

@RustedRides I forgot to mention, it water sands with ease. And buff out to mirror shine. Small repairs, such as, a scratch in a bumper cover or motorcycle tin. The paint jobber store/auto body supply house sells it. They can mix any color car paint and put it in a spray can too. So, if someone has a preference of a particular brand of paint, they mix it and put it in a spray can. This substantially reduces the costs involved in buying thinner/activators, hardner and paint. Plus, you need to clean spray equipment, hoses, an air compressor all the gadgets.. Hit a swap meet and put a 350 sbc with a 671 blower . 488/510 lift cam and 10-1 compression. make it all show engine for little money. That car will do 12's all day long because of the weight. 2 speed POWERGLIDE with 3000 stall and 488 in the rear housing 33-22.5 tire.

You can get incredible results even with a brush. It really just depends on how much work you are willing to put into it. I watched a guy (on youtube) put red Rustoleum with a brush on the plastics of a moped. He absolutely went to town on it afterwards with sanding and polishing. He got a mirror finish out of it. Admittedly, there may have been some tomfoolery going on, but it's not the only video I saw of people doing this. But, and this is quite the but, they were all small. Nobody was doing this on a full car paint job. All the sanding and polishing would probably take days with a car.

Body work is always black magic to me. It was cool to hear him explain why he was hammering and pulling. Still black magic though lol.

I raptor lined an explorer for a friend who was dead set on doing it. I was against it because I'd never used that stuff,and couldnt guarantee the results. It did turn out really nice but it was a pain. That spray gun they give you with the kit is kind of like trying to paint with a fire hose. No fan to speak of so getting even coverage was a task.

Thanks! Ya it isn't a "professional" paint job, but it will fool some people for sure! And I have seen "professional" paint jobs turn out not as good as this one. The cut and polish will be a big factor in the finish though

Put that engine in a museum as a testimony to how corporate greed can ruin the best of ideas. Wally world sells a snap on hand sprayer attachment that works very well. Better control and no more sore finger.

oh wow that is the perfect car to hot rod You should put a stoker small block chevy 400 stroke it to 420 cubic inches. Put on Promaxx X215 heads. And 2.1" valves. And an XR288HR cam on 108* LSA, with 10.5:1 compression mahle pistons and Scat stroker clearance rods. AFR titan dual plane intake. Run 3.23 gears and a TH400 with 2.10/1.40 gear set. The car looks extraordinary with big tires in the rear. Want to definitely look for an ASTRA or a PINTO or something like those. Got a solid rust free 81 camaro for 2500$ only. Has TH350 and 355 block.

Build a Lotus Super Seven clone with the Vega engine. I'm sure you can find some half-assembled project that never got finished, and it'd be the only one in existence!

Something that does help with rattle can painting. They make a handle with a trigger that fits on the cans. 1000% BETTER paint job as it allows better comfort and control as you paint the car with the cans.

My very first car was a 74 Vega with a 4 cylinder aluminum block engine that smoked so bad it would cover a 4 lane highway blinding traffic in both directions, needless yo say I got a ticket on the way home from buying it.😅

I had a '76 Astre and the build quality and alignment was incredibly bad. Driver door rubbed on the front fender, from the factory! Also it was the same color as yours was originally. Great color choice. The Canada '75 has a different grill assembly than the U.S. version. Mine with the two barrel carb and automatic did 0-60 in 20 seconds. That's U.S. MPH so about 21 seconds to 100 KPH.
