Bert,

Next week I will be putting some parts on Ebay  that may help you.  

These parts allow you to use a Saginaw  transmission out of a big car, i.e. 
Chevelle, Camaro, Vega, etc.  and  couple it to the Corvair rear end, much 
like the Crown kit but stronger, as  the trans bolts solidly to the 
bellhousing like it was designed to by  GM.

The adapter plate goes between the trans and rear end and is 7/8"  thick.  
I will also list a shifter adapter that bolts to the trans side  cover and 
allows you to use a Hurst shifter for far superior shifting than the  Crown 
setup.

You would also need to get the output shaft of the trans  shortened and 
re-splined at a cost of about $90 and I can help you with  that,

This kit will work with a Crown subframe which come up for sale  every once 
in a while (just sold mine) or you can make a Kelmark type which is  what 
my current car has - goes under the oil pan and sits on the frame on  either 
side.  Then you will need radiator, etc.  I have the  fiberglass seat/cover 
also, but shipping will be expensive depending where you  live.  I use 
regular seats with an Aluminum firewall to the window level,  then 1/4" lexan 
window to the roof.  Engine is visible.

Note these  parts are new, that I discovered in my garage last month, but 
these are the  LAST I have for this conversion. Comes with complete  
instructions.

Chris Wills
