I've read the various Corvair threads here on the world over the years and found them extremely interesting and informative. What I can't seem to find is a video of a 914 running a Corvair motor...or even a build thread that went to completion. I'd like to see or read someone's experience/impressions about the transplant once it's done and drivable.

I started driving Turbo Corvairs in the early 70's.
I used them as Winter Cars when I put the 6 away for the season. Built some fun hot rod turbo motors over the years with oversize Forged Pistons and turbo's with the tighter exhaust scroll and the "E" Flow impeller on the intake side. 2 barrel Weber 45DCOE Carb and alcohol injection.. Great Sleeper cars. Cheap compared Porsche Prices..... And now they do the big bore kits with VW Pistons and Cylinders and many different turbo options.... |
