i loveee this car my parents baught me a junky one and me and my pops are fixing it up together and im having a blast with it and by the way my pops is a corvair lover he has about 6 corvairs and he is working on all of them so far he fixed 2 up and it is amazing
how on gods green earth could anyone think to remove that great boxer six and replace it with a v8... its beyond me... awesome sound and nice low point of gravity. Handles well too if set up right. Lovely! Thanks for posting!
From what you can see he's got a custom quad carb setup along with an HEI distributor. There are better ways of doing things but they're expensive. Besides, there are rules in autocross that limit the mods you can do. So an EFI or distributorless setup might disqualify him from racing. I alway wondered why Corvair owners rarely go to an electric fan though, maybe they enjoy looking at that 90° fan belt.

These were one of the safest cars of their day. It's a shame they got such a bad rap. They were way better than any Porsche at the time.
