Chevrolet Vega:
1972, Type EAA, 1995cc, 275bhp. Based on USA Chevrolet Vega light-alloy cylinder block. 16-valve, belt driven, double overhead camshafts. Designed for F2 and sports cars but only really adopted by the sports car guys. Let down at first by a lack of cylinder block strength.
Later productionized producing 122bhp, built by Chevrolet for use in the Chevrolet Cosworth Vega of mid-1970s.
