I saw a trike made from a corvair many years ago,back in the early 70"s,that thing would scoot.

Welcome from the U.P. of Michigan and I would love to see that trike. A corvair had plenty of horsepower to move even a midsize car so imagine what it would do with a trike.

I loved the corvair! I owned several in the 70's. A fun motor to work on; a vw on steroids. Are you going 4 speed or powerglide?
