I'm  looking on using a Corvair transaxle to a 250HP motor.  Will the  "so
called " Muncy Rockcrusher  Corvair transaxle handle the  load?  What
other trans axel be used to handle the HP if a Corvair  would not work?



Tom,
The better transmission to use with this motor is the 66-69  known as the 
Saginaw.  It has the same innards as the V8 boxes used in  other GM cars of that 
era.  The Saginaw also uses a different input shaft  so be sure to get it with 
the transmission.  You should also install the  four spider gear carrier in 
the differential.
