Corvair with a Corvette V8 ?

The other day a friend of mine was telling me that in 1966 or '67 there was a Corvair model offered that came with a small block Corvette V8, he seemed to think it was a 350. I've certainly never heard of such a model but I thought I'd ask here. Anyone ever heard of this ?

The Corvair was only offered from the factory with the flat 6 engine offering various levels of horsepower . There was a aftermarket conversion kit available which allowed the use of a SBC in place of the stock 6 ! Go to http://www.corvaircorsa.com/crown1.html for the info on that ! There's also a website devoted to Corvairs which have had the V8 SBC installed and not just in the usual rear engine configuration ! Some are rear mounted , some mid engine , and some in the front engine configuration - http://v8vairs.com/ ! Check them out !

Thank you much for the information

yes iv seen the V8 conversion too. to me it takes the originality out of the corvair but im sure it gives it tons more power.
