  • Thanks for watching this video, this is the first promo video that I did. This is also my project car, the ultimate Chevy Cavalier with a 383 stroker swap, manual transmission and IRS. We work hard to keep the car the fastest as possible with this setup. It's a 12 seconde car, 400hp/460tq and 3100lbs. Thanks to subscribe and keep following for new content. You can follow me on Instagram @thewotguy for every week footage. Next year will be awesome...

    Making Chevy's dime a dozen Cavalier into a rwd V8 manual trans machine was a bold commendable move. Congrats on all the work it took to pull this off. I love unexpected automobiles.

    Fukkin awesome, this is what I want to do to a 99 . I've had a v8 swapped s10 and would love to LS swap a mini me (mini camaro) I've seen a v8 swap 05 at a car show but she was kept fwd and I'd prefer your rwd set up. I love Cavi's but I've kept all mine stock under the hood,I've always liked v8 swapped 1st and 2nd Gen s10s and ASTRO vans as that's what my dad did. Although I've watched v8 cavis at nhra events in pro stock and other classes I had never thought about building one to drive but I'm 5.3 LS swapping my 06 rt magnum wagon

I wanted to drop a 95-02 2.2 in one as to me they are much better than an ecotec but an LS swapped mini me wagon would be bad ass.

      @@cavalierliberty6838 the reason I'm confident it will, is I've seen plenty of videos of Civics getting Nissan engines and 2Jzs being fitted in. Considering the sunfires unibody frame closely resembles that of the civic, plus the extra space the engine bay has, it shouldn't take any more work to fit in that what I've seen,
      Just means more firewall and tunnel work.
