I'd be interested to see a list of the Corvair engines that have failed in some way that led to your opinion that they are somehow unreliable. Also, I've looked at EFI pretty hard, and determined that the multiple modes of failure that it introduces, not to mention the extra weight, far offsets any increase in performance, or the undeniable benefit of eliminating carb ice problems, but that's just my opinion...
