Someone in my high school took a '72 Vega and dropped a small block V-8. It was black with chrome mags. Nasty little car that could haul @ss long before the tuners took over the streets.

Had one of those, loved it. Wagon version, GT suspension, and manual transmission

Great car. Handled great and decent gas mileage (for the 70's). Accelerated faster than many other new cars in 1974.
Of course that was not very fast, never could afford to drop a V6 in there. Finally wrecked it and sold the remains for more than blue book as parts (guy really wanted a stock manual drive train).

If DeLorian had been allowed to use fiberglass, would have been a really great car.
