I've given some thought to going in the opposite direction, as in 
putting a Corvair engine into a Subaru.   Two things have put a 
binder on the notion:

Hard to find a proper Subaru with a bad engine.
The 'Vair engine spins opposite...  and the choice of transaxles is slim.

You could reverse-rotate a Vair engine and then cobble up an adaptor 
without a lot of hassle...  but I don't much care for the Rev-Rotate 
work involved, teardown and cam swap, distributor and starter issues etc.


Besides, I still have other unfinished projects...
