I believe a V-8 motor would have been another option.

Right, it's a 3.8 Buick. Probably would move that little car nice with a rear end gear swap.

my 2 cents

Would make a great first car for a young enthusiast. Easy to work on & fairly cheap on fuel. Too bad it was not a 4 speed car that would be awesome.
