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.

I am too busy to read the negative comments that those without experience ALWAYS post to this subject.
The corvair power plant is cheap, can be made to give good, reliable power, is cheap to rebuild. stupid easy to plug in and convert in any air cooled, is used in home built aircraft, and the list goes on. The answer to your question is, too many people THINK that they know about the engine and poo poo it, and it does not add any appreciable value to your car like a Porsche engine. However, a Porsche engine will always cost much more. Corvair engines are neither rare, nor expensive. There are tons of cores for dirt cheap. Check Clarks, Larry's, and my friends at Corvairranch in Gettysburg, PA. |
