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've got a funny, slightly OT story about a Corvair. I've always liked them, and growing up as a kid there was a local Corvair club in my town so I got to see a lot of them.....fast forward to the year just before I bought my first 914. I'm just out of college and want a fun car. Spot a 65 Corvair convertible in the paper for $2500, and decide to go take a look. The body had some rust holes, but structurally it looked sound, and body work didn't scare me at all. So I took it for a drive, and absolutely hated it. It was slower than my VW beetle at the time. I was so disappointed because I really wanted that car.
As I'm walking down the guys driveway, I turned to take one more look at the car and that's when I noticed the rear brakes were smoking.....I never disengaged the parking brake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) At that point I was too embarrassed to walk back up the driveway, so that ended my Corvair fantasies. Next up, 914's..... dipshit.
