[FC] Buick V6 in an FC?

[Bruce Gwyther]

The Buick must be reverse rotated to work with Corvair transaxle (and 
special adapter).  Also, with the stock intake, it sits too high and the 
cover must be raised.  Could he have a low profile intake or fuel injection? 
Even then it might not fit under the stock engine cover...
