262, yeah that was it. The whole car was built around the Wankle engine GM was going to promote ALA Mazda rotary but at the last minute, failed the EPA tests or something. They revived the 231 V/6 for the Buick and the Olds but didn't have enough to go around, so chevy's got the cast iron 4 out of the vega and the 262 small truck engine. 305's and 350's bolted right up.

BTW that 231 V/6 was out of the American motors jeep. Which acounts for the high torque. For something GM through together at the last minute, as it were, it was a nice package.

I thoroughly enjoyed mine. Someday I'll bore you with the "Porsche chase accross IOWA" story.


Time now for bed.
