<VV> For the Corvair Collector that thinks they have everything?

Two options I can think of:
- Reverse the engine rotation.  There are/were reverse grind Corvair 
camshafts available for VW engine transplants.
- Run the machine in reverse.  It may have forward/reverse gearing similar 
to a lot of construction equipment.

The question that struck me was where did the bell housing come from?

What I want to know is, how do you swap a corvair engine in place of an
in-line Studebaker engine?
Other than the physical issues, how about crank rotation?

LOL, In reply to that, yes its got a Corvair motor shoe horned in there,
however, I place that in the same category as the Corvair powered boat.
Good for some, not for me. I am very happy enjoying my 62 Coupe, thank you!
