<VV> 5 speed corvair

[Rick Fulkerson]

Please forgive me if this subject has been covered, I've been off the list for 15 years.
Has anyone come up with an AFFORDABLE way to put a 5 speed in a vair.
I've seen the T-5 conversion and it seem to be reasonably affordable, but VERY hard
to find. I'm seeing conflicting data concerning ease of installation and functionality.
Porsche tranxaxle: too expensive. Has anyone done a Subaru transaxle?
Seems to me since our engines turn the "wrong way" that when turned around
backwards, it should (on paper) work. There also seems to be a very active aftermarket with 
reverse rotation parts for the transaxles in the event they were necessary. The
Dr. Frankenstein in me would love to adapt the entire AWD setup into a vair, but
of course it must retain the proper engine in the proper location. This fevered dream
has been festering in my brain for years and I just needed to see if anybody else
had similar thoughts. I'd appreciate any input pro or con.

Thanks Rick (vair694800)
