YOU WANTTHE TRUTH?

You couldn't STAND the truth.

Get yourself a SafeGuard anti pop ignition from  American Pi and throw about 
$6K( Rebuilt vair turbo stuff, forged pistons, HD valves/train, mildly trick 
heads .... ) into your stocker corvair engine ( oh, rebuilt clutch while you 
are at it ... ) .... and you will STILL only have a teaser, good for a few 
seconds ....  can't wind it with tearing it apart, and can't top end it 
without going to jail, and any fun in between will just melt it down anyway.

I suggest grabbing a v8 vair while they are still cheap...  if the sb goes 
kaput, slide in a target box sbc for $1800 or maybe better a 4.3 inline chev 
6.

I think v8 vairs, in some running stage ( g ) are cheap compared to a Neon, 
( or Cavalier ) which to me is a fun thing, for the bucks,  to flog.

The corollary is that my 110 streeter is just about right ( well, back when 
it had all 6 pistons working ) for doing what is most fun in vairs::: 
driving them everywhere, and waving back at all the smiling people.

just a thought ; ken campbell idaway
