I actually have 3 bodies and Many engines for a mid 60's Chevrolet Corvair project I might get at one day. Looking forward to this one - Deal is done and it on its way.

My plan (right now) is to explore the possibility of making a TBI carb for it - Looks doable from what I can see in Pics as to the arrangement. Think a pressure regulator might be in the cards to to allow the tank to be placed up higher because of the low carb - but that could depend on the install I guess. Think I might try it out first on the Scratch build (ugly stick-ish) being done for the Supertiger 20cc - Planning a universal mounting to be able to swap Power plants. Then maybe something "Cub-ish"
