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 Corvair is much less expensive to purchase than a flat porshe 6 A rebuilt Corvair motor can be had for $3k a core porsche 6 cost about that a 3.0 would be double that.The Corvair motor does not require the expensive sheet metal, oil tank, and lines, that are required for the porsche 6 conversion.So I don't think it would be as expensive as a porsche 6.Corvair engines can make from 140 to 200 hp so the power is compareable to a flat 6 porsche.The argument that it's under powered and the same amount of work and similarly priced dosen't seem to hold water.Ther has to be some other reason(s)
