I ran the car for a few years (no NO2), it ran a couple under the index, then later put it back to a street car. The 110 hp had potential, but the weak point of inner axle breakage was frustrating. A unusual combo for sure, fun to drive and could do a clutch is less than 30 Min!
And we wondered why those Corvairs we're so fast. The bad deal was Thorstad was the Chairman of the United Stockers Assoc.
