914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Ebay car with chevy trans?

Posted by: skline Apr 15 2005, 09:51 AM

Browsing Ebay today and I find this car. For obvious reasons I have to look. It claims he has a corvette motor and corvette transmission. So, I am thinking he didnt build the car and really has no clue what is in it. What do you think? Can a GM trans be put in a 914?

with the right modifications, which would be alot, it could probably work.

"Corvair" trans...

Corvair, Corvette, Whats the difference?

And its running backwards... Thats really good for longevity...

I thought it took a pretty tight shroud to keep these things cool?
