The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi All Here are a few pictures of my Cavalier Coupe. It's the first car I ever bought and have owened it for more than 25 years now.

Hi Guys Thanks for coming back to me so quickly. I am running the Edlebrock performer manifold with the Webber 500 so this should be okay then methinks. I have a Vitesse Thunder Saloon 5spd box nailed to the back of the motor and a 3.67 lsd so with luck the twelves are a good possibility. Will have ...
