Hi, fsjonsey!
I havenīt seen how exactly they put a Lada engine into a Corvair. I am really curious, but havenīt had the chance of seeing one with the hood open.
Of course they put the Lada engine on the front (and have to open a grille, thatīs how you can know they are converted Corvairs). They somehow modify the floor to run the transmission shaft to the rear axle, which is (of course) Lada.
I donīt remember the exact date of the US embargo. (1962, I think). Of course the day after that you couldnīt send a nail to Cuba! But I am told by older people that American cars were sold in Cuba even before than in the US, maybe so they could test them before the beginning of the actual model year. If that is true, the sellers could have some cars of the next model year at the time the embargo came into force.
