<VV> V8 Conversion

[FrankCB]

Especially if you add a turbo!  The Jetfire used a turbo on the 215 Olds engine in 1962-63.  I remember seeing a 215 in a Corvair at Lime Rock many years ago.  It fit quite well with just a small notch in the frame rail.

Why not use a Rover (Land Rover) V8? they are the same as the Buick/Olds   

215 V8 but cast different and some of them are stroked for more CID.   
There   

is a 'Vair in L.A.  with the 215 in it and the weight balance is quite   

good; handles well.

Seeing as how 'Vair owners are somewhat tightfisted, the 215  can be had 
for much less than the LS series and might not have too much loss in   
performance.l
