Um, somebody check me, but didn't the Corvair come with only one engine:
a flat 6?


Ya gotta learn to READ. I said CORSAIR. Like a Limey Ford from the
'60s.


Which is why I said "check me". :-)

I believe the engine may have also been used in the Transit van, and
is a close relative if not the same engine as the Saab V4.


Well, you're absolutely right that a V-4 would be expected to have a lot
of vibration.
