<VV> Bell housings

[Lon Anderson]

Harry,
I believe it is because on the "typical" GM engines, the starter is on the same side as the engine. On the Corvair there is no room for a starter on the engine side, so they put it on the opposite side where there was room (until they installed the :direct air" heater)...
Seems logical....
;-)

After Smitty's comments yesterday (and he's right, no one commented about a
bellhousing change for Charlie), I wondered as to why Chevrolet put the
bellhousing on the engine instead of the transaxle like regular cars.
Starter drive issues?
