Chevy could have saved themselves a lot of time and effort if they had just made a better copy of the inline six truck engine Austin-Healey used for a couple of decades in their sporty cars. They even managed to design two and three carburetor systems that worked, and used a 4 speed transmission with overdrive on 3rd. and 4th. gear instead of dropping an ugly fiberglass body on a 53 Bel-Air sedan frame and suspension and calling it a "sports car"!
