I agree that 100 HP is enough, but the Chevette has about half of that at best. Most Dyno test to well under 50 at the wheels, and about 40-50 at the crank.

A Skyline engine/transmission would be awesome. The s10 drivetrain is a good choice too. I'll look into that one.

That's a great way to put it.
