Chevrolet Corvair Engines and Transmissions

The Chevrolet Corvair engine range uses air-cooled gasoline flat-sixes, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions with different performance characteristics. A manual transmission gives you control over gear changes, while an automatic reduces effort in traffic. Check each car’s engine and transmission combination, since body style alone does not establish its powertrain.
