    Absolutely one of the best builds I have ever seen! The talent, skill, determination, engineering, etc are incredible. I don’t know if he builds cars for a living, but he’s thrown shade on a lot of professional shops with this!

    I have seen V8 front engined corvairs before, but I always wanted to see a corvair with a grille in the front......I can die happy now.

    I can imagine a second Gen Corvair with same treatment, elongated hood, etc., would look off the charts.

    He did use two hood's..........but only one body..........anybody else that would've tried to build this would've used 2-3 car's to do it..........really shows his planning and building skills........nicely done........👍👍👊👊

    I've seen 2 Corvairs that were put on G body M.C. frames. My last Corvair was a 66 Monza. Flat 6 with Powerglide. I stuck a set of 3rd gen IROC rims on it. Filled out the wheel wells nice.

    Beautiful car, love the color combination and the engine choice. I’m surprised he didn’t go with TH400 transmission. Still super nice ride!

    • @Thomas63r2
      @Thomas63r2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      One of the details not mentioned is the car's weight. Absolutely nothing wrong with a TH350 in a lighter drag car can easily be built to handle up to 800 horsepower. Besides being lighter in weight, the TH350 has less parasitic drag than a TH400 - which equals more power to the ground up to the horsepower limit of the transmission.

    Will it REALLY go 100 mph? (LOL, I've had 3) Most unique design I've seen, and it's rare to see an early model conversion. EXCELLENT job the finished and streetable car.

    Perhaps 30 years ago someone built a front engine Corvair using a Jaguar engine. I think it had an experimental rear transmission from a Tempest.
