Quad 4s look kinda like Offenhausers right? Something like this would be a blast

Pull the engine from a rusted out one of these:

Because Cosworth.

Those are rare and getting pricey. Doubtful you'd be able to find one.

It would be amazing, but if I was seriously considering this, then I don't think this would be the best choice of motor.

Yeah, they were a bit temperamental, but so was the Quad 4. Even though it is the LS motor of stuff like this, the Zetec is a pretty good choice.

The Zetec would be a great choice. I was mainly thinking about the Quad 4 because it is a handsome motor like the Offy

I can't fault that.

I wonder if one of those would work well in an Impulse since that is a Chevette chassis?

It probably would, I'm sure you could make it fit.

Actually-the dirt track i used to race at (that closed a couple of years ago) had a Quad 4 midget class. The ran them on alcohol-had a special computer to richen them up-made a 100hp over stock. People were picking motors up for near nothing at the junkyards and dropping them in. The guy that won the championship paid $500 for the motor-and still had the plugs in that came with the motor!
