Don't know what the cost of the MOTUS engine would be, but the H1V8 is very 
 expensive.  It is the motorcycle v-8 that is used in the new V8 Ariel  
Atom.  That car is now running something like 120K or 150K with the V8, but  as 
shown on Top Gear, it is one he*# of a car, it really flys, with better 
power  to weight than the Bugatti SS.  Oh well, I just thought the MOTUS V4 was 
 cute, you can really tell it is a miniature of the LS that is in our  
Vette.  If it could be hooked up, it would look really cool when you opened  the 
engine lid of the Corsa.  Certainly would be unique.  If you watch  the 
video, it sounds cool too.

So  you're talking $30,000 to put into a Corvair and the only result would 
be  
a completely torn up drivetrain???
