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'm sure you'd get some serious double-takes with this baby in the engne bay!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i140.photobucket.com-2325-1297992254.1.jpg) One thing I can say about the 'Vair engine, is that fan makes some serious noise above 3-4Krpm! In the buggies I've ridden in (both mid-engine Deserters) the fan noise dominates all other noises at higher rpm's. Not sure about the upright fan conversion? Unfortunately, the heads seem to the the biggest drawback. Some serious $$ needs to be spent to make the big HP numbers - especially when you go with IR intakes, slant port exhaust, P&P - Ka-ching! Plenty of hi-po parts available though. |
