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.

QUOTE 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 ?? the helical cut of the gears is going the wrong direction and it wouldn't be able to handle as much power. |

The 901 was designed for the R/P to run in that direction (911). It's the 914 that runs it backwards! |
