if money is no object, chop an S10 frame, and fab a CRX body to it, and be on your way. then you have a whole slew of possible V8's you could put in it. I would recommend maybe a 502 or possibly a 555, and run a couple T70's....should be able to make 1100-1300 on pump gas and not have to spin more then 5500-6000rpm. of course, you'd need to revamp that leaf spring suspension though.
