VW fuel injection is a bad thing. I would look harder at the GM/Ford components. Maybe something jap would be a good thing too. I love German cars, but that fuel injection is nuts.

Off the shelf items are off the planet price wise. One could theoretically use the injection system off a V-6 Chevy on the Corvair and reprogram it with one of those aftermarket black boxes.. but that is theory, practice might be something else altogether. I think William would be the one to ask regarding the feasibility with the Corvair. However VW has manufactured and used fuel injection on their air-cooled engines for years so getting one from a junk yard is not impossible. The wiring and program diagrams are posted on the net and if anyone wants them just ask and I'll ship them off channel.

I can build a whole carbureted Corvair for the cost of the injection system alone. Point is not that it isn't available or good. It is whether for the money does it meet the builders needs or is it affordable vs. old reliable carb and gravity feed for these builders.
