<VV> Front engine Corvair (on Ebay)

[airvair]

THAT is what is wrong with MOST of them. You got to remember that the 
Corvair body wasn't designed with the intention of ever having the 
engine in the front, let alone a BIG engine. The frame, crossmember, and 
front suspension, while beefy enough for the Corvair, is questionable 
for a front mounted engine, IMHO.

Then there's the matter of heresy.....

At least the Corv-8 designs are more true to the general Corvair 
concept, and are mechanically sound.
