I saw a car in the classifieds that has a Corvair 6 engine swap with the engine set up to run in the correct dirrection.I was wondering why we don't see this conversion very often.Seems like a pretty straight forward conversion.

The Porsche flat 6 (depending on the engine) can be nearly a bolt up conversion, without too many hoops to jump through. A good Porsche flat 6 is a very durable engine too.
The other thing, is most 914's lust after 914-6's hence the desire for using a factory engine. The Corvair engine is probably too rare to be popular. |
