<VV> Corvair engine into 914

[Bill Elliott]

Jim not only had a killer 194/Corvair, but a widebody 914/ turbo Corvair with 911 suspension and breaks.

He did it right with a custom engine cradle, a professionally reversed transaxle, and a normal-rotation 
Corvair engine. The bellhousing end used a Kennedy adapter... the other end had the rear housing 
removed to fit into the custom cradle.  External oil cooler/filter. Exhaust was all custom. (I bought the engine 
from him when he went back to big bore VW power)

I did not buy any of the custom 914 parts (cradle, transaxle, etc) so they may still be available. Sorry I don't 
have Jim's work email (the usual way I talked to him) on this computer... but VV shows fki@otherside.com

Good luck... it was quite a car he had!!!
