Does anyone know of any Corvair engine and/or drive train issues with the
engine stuck out there with no visible means of support?
==========================================================
1 When a Corvair Engine is used on a VW / Porsche Transaxle... the Bellhousing is replaced by a very robust adapter plate.
AND the added weight / leverage of the Vair 's extra 100 lb requires a support at the mating area of the two... Usually just a thin metal sheet suspended from framework.
On the street.. the Vair bellhousing is most likely strong enough.. but why chance it...build a support...single tube would be sufficient.
I have seen several though without them
