914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Corvair to 914 engine swap booklet

Posted by: rock914 Apr 8 2009, 10:46 PM

I just pisked this booklet up from a guy on Craigslist very cool! I think he said that he got it about 20 years ago. It's 17 pages and looks like it was maybe provided with a "swap kit" for installing a Corvair motor into a 914. Very ineresting and quite detailed. It was put out by Otto parts in SO. EL MONTE CA but had a sticker over that that said Clarks Corvair Parts Inc. in Shelburne Falls, MA. Tals about the motor and or trans reversal options, electrical connections, required mods ect. I probably won't ever use it, but it is cool. If anyone is interested I could probably make some copies.

IIRC JCWhitney sold a corvair-VW transplant kit about 20 years ago and somewhere else there were reverse made cams to run the corvair motor backwards for some applications.
