If you're seriously thinking of using a Corvair, you should probably join the CorvAircraft lisd (which I also run), by sending a message to corvaircraft-j...@mylist.com . Engines come up there on a regular basis. There's more info on which engines to buy, and links to even more detailed lists, at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/donors.html . Don't just get ANY Corvair engine, which is why you'll need William Wynne's conversion manual (link on the previously mentioned page). How much power you get out of it depends on how fast you spin it. For small diameter prop KRs (54"), you'll easily get 110 hp. I expect my bored out Vair to put out around 135 hp at 3600 rpm. Lots more info on Corvair engines on my website at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair ...
