I also think that keeping it all VW is the best bet. But, I must admit I came
verrry close to going with the corvair flat six in my 79 westy. I went so far
as to even purchase an engine, the 140hp/ 4 carb model, complete with manual
trans, 2 starters, and 2 new clutch assemblies-- got 'em fairly inexpensive.
Anyways, I thought about using the setup in the 84, but then what do I do for
defrosters?
Has anyone on the list had experience with the corvair conversion? The only
one I ever saw was Bill from VW Bus Heaven's ( that's what got me on this
'vair thing in the first place)
