some came with turbo chargers, too. The corvair was an innovative car for its day. There's a very good write up on the corvair over at http://ateupwithmotor.com/component/...rticle/65.html
That'll give you a good 101 on this car...

Don't forget Don Yenko used to build these before the Camaro came along (Yenko Stinger) GM, I believe, even experimented with these cars using an electric motor. Look up "electrovair" sometime...

Back to the project thread- very cool project! I'd like to build a '67 Corvair sometime. Probably the optimal year, imo.
