CORVAIR BOOKS
Performance Corvairs
How to Hotrod the Corvair
Engine and Chassis
After 20 years, the updated and re-written version of the Corvair classic "How to Hot Rod Corvair
Engines" is now available. "Performance Corvairs" takes the original book and adds history
and lessons learned from the career of Auto crosser and track racer Seth Emerson. With input
from many in the Corvair racing community, as well as his street car building experience, Seth
adds new material and reviews products & techniques developed and proven since the original
book's publication. Not only is the Corvair now 40 years older, but the performance and racing
community have progressed by 40 years. Many new products are still coming out and new
machining techniques being developed to prepare our favorite cars for performance duty as a
responsive, economical street car or as an autocross threat. The best parts of the original book
are still there with additional material covering the newest techniques and available hardware.
This is a must-buy for your Corvair library or your shop workbench. C162RV 1 lb.
