the car had several corvair engines

a 2.3L with holley carb (1st pict)

and a 3.1L with 48 ida , and lot of HP

and i remember a day at bomal a gasket was sucked up  the engine , and since that time the car wasn't running anymore corvair , because emerson is still worked on , and at that time the future plan was changing the 2 48 ida by 2 triple body 46ida from a porsche

but no news about a long time now :-/

Good looking car. Too bad it's not a 911 six, back there.

Really dig (and always did) that fasty. Such a cool car with thinking out of the box!

The gold alu work is so fantastic clean!
Only thing I would change: Fill the arches a bit more with a pair of 16`s.

How well do a pair of 48 work on a 6? Must be some type of plenum manifold?

I'm a type 3 fanatic, so I like the idea!  Grin  But why suddenly you want to get rid of the KG ?

Yes you can see them under the carbs on the last pic. Strange system but it worked!

It was in France for the Super VW National near Bordeaux. Don't remember the year but as it was at that place it must be in the late '90s/early '00s.

First engine: 2300cc full stock (2 ridiculous Rochester carbs, around 80/90 hp)
Second engine: 3100 full modified (2700cc or 164ci base with 94mm vw cylindre kit,  ported heads, ultra light flywheel, unknown cam, 48 IDA's,....and it was pulling!!!)
This engine broke and is still not fixed.
Emy put a type 4 for some time so he could drive.
Then he bought a third corvair, 2700cc 140hp, reverse rotation and with a Holley carb with circular filter.
