Allan Bristow has a Rover engine mounted in the rear of his late Corvair
convertible and it is a really neat setup.  The car looks totally stock
until you open the deck lid.  I don't know if he built it or bought it that
way but I really liked it.  300 cubic inches, all aluminum engine that
weighs almost the same as a Corvair engine and fits like it was made for it.
Now you can have all the power you want (4.9 liters) and have a real hot
water heater if you don't like the smell of a Corvair heater.  What's not to
like about it.  He drove it from Virginia to Michigan for the Woodward Ave.
dream Cruise last year.
