I just find the engineering aspect of these units fascinating especially since they made so few. Did you ever have yours apart ? Where did they differ from the regular transaxle and what parts were the same. Do any engineering records or drawings still exist ? Why did they choose to retain the transaxle for the super duty's instead of using the big car rear axle like the racers eventually did ? Did their testing not reveal the inherent weakness of the Corvair style differential ?I'm assuming since you said you "owned one" (past tense) you no longer have it ?
