found out offey 4bbl plate also fits clifford manifold....will try a 650 spreadbore holley mounted secondaries inboard ala sprint 6 4bbl setups..will use 4hole adapter but have open plenum style also..in light car (2500) and manual trans it should work..liked the old qjets...good mileage until the secondaries kick in but good power too.....will have to experiment with secondary cams...headers will depend on how engine sits once mounted...chassis shop will have it ready soon...nowwill the valve covers hide under the corvair hood let alone the air cleaner!!!..have pix but too pea brained to figure how to post them


If some is good,more is gooder, and too much is just right

I would like to see pics of the Vair w/the 292.
My friend is a guru of Corvairs & I think he would get a kick out of your Vair w/a 292.

A friend here had a mid-engine Corvair. It had a turboed 350 where the back seat used to be,

If you can email the pictures I'll post them for you, Or on the Stovebolt web site in the part called the Short Bus they explain how to post pictures and it works here.
