Most muffler shops in my area that are 'quality' shops can install an aftermarket cat, even with thin washcoat, that will last their 24 month / 24k mile warranty period. I was the recent 'recipient' of a cat hack-attack,on a Honda Element (top 10 candidate for a cat-ectomy...) and local shop replaced cat with aftermarket for $300 installed with 24/24 warranty - and I'm

Flares from Volkswagen Rabbit (Mk 1), or ~1995 Nissan Stanza are an option... And the Rabbit flares are inexpensive - better aftermarket following than some other car options. =Rabbit&vehicle=Volkswagen&vehicle=1981 bryan

MB 616/617 diesels only need one battery. If you're bent on installing a diesel into the back of a Corvair, use the VW 1.9TD/TDi engine, and use a VW Type 2 Bus or VW Type 1 Gearbox. Adapters & flywheels are readily available, the VW TD will provide plenty of power, and parts are cheap. Use a slip-tube axle assembly concept like Datsun used on the 240Z... bryan

... the Triumph throttle bore diameters are comparable in size to the Weber triples.
