CORVAIR ENGINE to VW TRANSAXLE ADAPTOR KITS

You can double both the horsepower and reliability with any VW type transaxle or 911/912 Porsche by adapting a 2.7 liter Corvair

engine to it.

CORVAIR ENGINE ROTATION vs. VW – Requires changes depending on style transaxle because the Corvair

engine rotates opposite that of the VW.

OLDER – "SWING AXLE" VW TRANSAXLES – DO NOT have I.R.S. (independent rear suspension).

There are 2 CHOICES:

I.R.S. Type VW TRANSAXLES – If your transaxle is from an I.R.S. (independent rear suspension) vehicle then you

only HAVE 1 CHOICE to compensate for the Corvair engine rotation. (You CANNOT "ﬂip" the differential ring gear).

"MID-ENGINE" CONFIGURATION with VW TRANSAXLE

A few people want a "MID-ENGINE" set up with a VW transaxle and the Corvair engine towards the front of the vehicle ("MID-

ENGINE").
