[V8Vairs] was there every a ring and pinion that did work?

[Steve Goodman]

I don't know a present cost from CIDCO, I would suggest asking again.
If you are thinking of just flipping the ring gear to the other side like a
VW,
that won't work with the Corvair, no room inside the diff and the hypoid
gears won't work like that.
