<VV> Karmann Ghia Corvair?

 It's preferred because of the drive side/coast side issues. Agreed, spiral bevel gearsets care less than hypoid gearsets, but they still care!!

Agreed, but the VW transaxle will last a LOT longer if it turns the  
correct direction. Reverse rotation engine is the preferred way to do Corvair  
to 
VW and Porsche conversions. 








The VW transaxle is pretty much immune to direction of rotation. In  many 
years, it was sold and used by VW in both directions of rotation. It is the  
Corvair differential that is less able to carry a load in the reverse  
direction due to the ring and pinion design. Some years of VW transaxles cannot  

be reversed, due to side cover designs.
