Water Injection Thread

[Gwyn Reedy]

I don't remember it that way.

Chevy had the rear engine Corvair.
Pontiac had the 'half of a 389 V8' 4 cyl with rear transaxle and the
driveshaft you saw.
Olds and Buick had the 215 aluminum V8 with conventional transmission and
rear end technology.

The Pontiac transaxle shared a lot of components with the Corvair transaxle.
