<VV> Signal to Noise Ratio NO CORVAIR

[Dennis Nichols]

Actually the Chevy II was introduced with nothing but fours and sixes in it's first two years. A 283 V8 was offered in 1964, which, unfortuantely was the first year the Chevy II had no convertible. There was a dealer installation kit you could purchase to install a 283 or 327 in a Chevy II offered in 1962, but it was not a factory option and was quite expensive (you had to buy the kit, which was not cheap, and the motor) .
 
GM tried a policy of controlling engine size and type in classes of cars, but competition and the success of the GTO basically put an end to that in the mid-'60's...

If the Nova had only been available with a 6... and you did not have the ability to fit a V8... then it would be roughly equivalent in popularity to a 
Plymouth Valient. On the other hand, if you could readily bolt in a Corvette V8 to a Corvair, it would have been much MORE popular.
