It would require a lot of 'busy' work but it would not be that much of a trick. One would need a donor car then transfer all the electronics into a stripped out Corvair, a piece at a time. Hot Rodders have been doing this for years. BUT ... I would have to think there would be some problems revolving around the operating temperature of a Corvair engine., in fact, I would have to believe it would be a deal killer.

All of this could be true and even likely.
After dealing with all the complexities of OBD-II on my Fords, victims of
'vehicular car-slaughter', I realize the value of all those devices, and
wonder how they could be applied to Corvairs ?
Corvairs, are luckily, not subject to smog controls (yet), but what if they
change that ?
All this talk about electronic ignition etc not being worth the perceived
benefit (depending on who's talking) makes me wonder if it wouldn't be an
interesting project to control a Corvair engine as precisely as modern
engines ?
Let's hope we don't get any 'runaway Corvairs' in the process, which, the
complexities involved, is not a trivial matter.
An interesting idea nonetheless - any takers ?
