I love it when people say they put a "corvette" engine in. What does that mean?

True.......all I know was that it was a V8 transplanted out of a wrecked Corvette. The Corvair and Corvette shared a lot of drive train aspects so this was an easy conversion. It could have been a Chevy 350.....I cant recall.

I knew someone back in about 72, who took out the rear seats, put in a corvette engine, redid the wheels and suspension and retooled the look of the body (rear end and grill mostly). Ended up with a 50/50 weight distribution. Was fast, handled great, looked cool........I wonder what happened to that car......
