The Crown kit put the engine in the normal (for a Corvair) location and was
pretty silly. There was another kit that put the engine in the back seat and was
actually pretty cool. I saw one at an autocross once. It had Ferrari 308-style
side scoops and dual 4" exhausts exiting where the license plate normally is on
a Corvair.

Did they send the outriggers to go with it? 60 lbs of lead for the front
end? Maybe a big wing in front?
