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.

If I was going to do a conversion of this type.. I'd buy a 65 and up 140HP motor for a carb motor or a factory turbo motor as a starting point because you get the Hardened Crank and the big valve heads and the proper distributor with the right curve built in on the 140 HP and the turbo also has the hardened crank and the sodium filled exhaust valves and pressure retard distributor. You would probably be looking for some of those parts for any motor you built, so why not get them all at once. The 65 and up had the bigger stroke crank also. I'd Do the 3.1 Big Bore setup too. Big oil pump is easy also. And make sure whoever does the valve seats knows the issues with them.
What about flipping the R/P in the transmission instead of reversing the engine rotation ?? I know VW guys had been doing that for years. ???? just asking ?? |
