Re: Gamma Goat
Further "Twister" testbeds were developed by SAE for the military, using two, yes two sychronized 140 Corvair engines.

Re: Gamma Goat
Here is a Corvair-based GM prototype called the AGL-4, it was designed for military and commercial use. It looks like a jacked-up Loadside pickup, but the cab and bed are separate pieces, connected by an articulating joint. The Corvair engine is mounted in the front, under the cab, and it is 4-wheel drive.
Below is the link to the AGL-4 Rampside video --

Re: Gamma Goat
Phil , I can't say for sure about reverse rotation but when I reviewed the video I noted that the engine is still flywheel forward just like a stock Vair . It would be cool.
I'll bet those guys in the back were hanging on !
Here's a few clips by Uglytruck of a Corvair tank.
