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 was doing a conversion on my 914 until a 2.7 dropped in my lap for free. If it were not free I would have continued. The "free" concept is quickly lost when you factor in: mounts, hoses, tank, tins, any parts are $$$.
Ya, the reverse cam and dizzy gear are about $200, 901 adapter about $140, a mount is stupid easy to fab as the case has many mount points. |

Ya, the engine spins in the wrong direction but there are cams and dizzy's that fix that. I happen to have had several corvairs. The engines run nice and sound sweet. Here's one of my old vairs.
