Performance Corvairs
Here is a full and complete revision to the
original How to Hotrod Corvair Engines by
Bill Fisher. Everything the engine builder needs
to know to rebuild the Corvair for power in all
applications from street to full race. Covers all
Corvair engines from 1960–69.
Seth Emerson is one of the foremost figures in
Corvair racing. He has rewritten the entire book to
current performance standards, adding more than
150 new photos and charts.
Bill Fisher was a huge fan of Chevy inline six-cylinder
engines. Soon after the Corvair came out in an
opposed-six configuration, he authored the original
How to Hotrod Corvair Engines in 1964.
