The cooling system will have to be modeled after a Pontiac Fiero system. The floor pan design will make this a challenge.

Cold air intake is not a problem since the Corvair deck lid is louvered. Many of the Monza and Spyder models had a factory cold air intake.

The original transaxle will not be suitable for the Ford.

The fuel system will have to be modified for higher pressure service with a return line.

This is the kind of project you are facing:

It will be a convertible. Can you link a suitable cooling system? And I can't seem to find any good replacement transaxles.

Also, are there cars that would be easier to use with this engine? They need to be small and lightweight.
