The essence of efficient function. I have actually had to work on this car and it is a pleasure. There is nothing in the way of anything. The VR6 "crack pipe" is usually a pull the front end off the car kind of job and on this I had it out in 5 minutes.

Looks like the Chevette HSR engine. Wish I had the coin to import one here for me. I'd DD the car.

A hand built, hand machined, hand cast 1/3 scale Chevy 350 that runs on pump gas!
Th guy who buil it said: It runs great. The valves don't show up very well in the photo but I think they are standing on there heads next to the cam and lifters.The power is about the number one question I get at shows. Stock answer is after hearing it, if you'll give me 1/2 HP/cu.in., since it displaces a little over 11 cu.in. that would put it at around 5 HP.
