A LSX motor is only slightly heavier then a stock Corvair set up. IMO opinion a properly set up LSX powered Corvair would change the entire Corvair after market and make it a viable Hotrod, it would rock.
Not much really to the parts Crown and Kelmark offered, I may still have some of the frame mod parts in my stash if thats the route you want to go?
