Full and complete revision to the original How to Hotrod Covair Engines by Bill Fisher. Everything the engine builder needs to know to rebuild the Corvair for a variety of applications from street to full race. Covers all Corvair Engines from 1960-69.

The Corvair was General Motors' answer to the Chrysler Valiant and the Ford Falcon. It came with a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six engine that turned out to be heavier than anticipated and compromised the handling. Nevertheless there were some interesting variants. The Monza Spyder could be had with high-performance engines and in 1965 there was a new, sporty model called the Corsa. The Corvair was not developed any further and ceased production at the end of the decade. Even so the car still appeals to the enthusiast and has outlived the reputation of the mid-1960s. This is a book of road tests, technical and specification data, model introductions and driver's reports.
