Karl: I also remember the LM with what I remember as a Citation 2.8 V-6
behind the back seat. I think it was an automatic, but am not certain. I
don't remember where the radiator was. I think it was a bronze or burnt
orange in color.
Since I don't remember much about it. I must not have actually paid that
much attention to it, because I do remember other cars there.
Historically Yours,
James Rice

Anyone ever try putting a transverse-engine powertrain from a front wheel
drive car in the back of a Corvair?
Just curious.

Very, very nice example of this was displayed at the previous Denver
convention. Owner used a 3100 or 3800 GM drive train mounted in the normal
'Vair position. From the outside, it looked stock. If you looked under the
engine lid, you could see just a small cut was needed to clear the firewall
area at the top. Enough room was available to have a small rear luggage
area, between the end of the engine and the rear rail. I don't remember the
rear seat area being changed.
