Cool. I must admit that I really like those things. Especially with the Z26 package.

Wow, that's a lot fo clutter to clean up in the engine bay. :D  It needs a stereo too (but I'm sure you knew that).  I always thought that those were pretty nifty little cars as were the Cavaliers with that package.  Or whatever Z package it came with.  Is it quick?

The 3.1 is actually a pretty good motor.  We had a Chebby Corsica with the 3.1.  Problem was everything else about the car started to fall apart around the motor.

I don't what it is about them, but I really like the look of those cars. I wouldn't mind picking up a '96 myself.

175K right now paul.  We just did the lower intake and head gaskets, but the rod bearings need to be done, and the front cam seal. with work and all, we cant find the time to finish it.

I found one of those Beretta's in the woods last weekend near the cottage. It wasn't a Z26 but it did have the 3.1 and a 5-speed. Seems some of the local yahoos were out joyriding the back roads and it broke down, so they beat the living daylights out of it. I was gonna help the neighbour haul it back for s, but somebody beat us to it.

Actually I know alot about those cars. Other than the intake gasket going those cars are very reliable. Evidentally I guess you didn't catch the intake gasket in time, so you have a bottom end noise, right? Well what I do know is if you want to get a couple of extra ponies, move the battery in the trunk and route the intake near the headlamp. These cars are breathing through a straw since their isnt much room.

In case you guys didn't know, those motors are equipped with a couple of goodies from the factory. They have beehive valve springs, roller cam and roller rockers. I like those Z26's, pretty cool car you have their.
