Could I possibly get a copy of that file? I'm redrawing my modified plans out in Rhino 3D and I could use a scale drawing of the corvair engine.

I found a really nice AutoCad dwg of a Corvair engine on the net. I am using ACad, so this is perfect for me. Problem is that the dwg appears to be in an odd scale. I do not know what variants there are on these engines and it is not clear which one this is. Is the case (for e.g.) the same on all of them? When I got the Cad (2D and 3D) dwg of the dragonfly canopy from Mark Lougheed I had the same hassle, so maybe I have my ACad set up wrong? The engine measures 27 units at the widest (rocker covers) and the piston diam measures 4. Starter ring gear is 10 (greater diam). Could these be the correct sizes in inches? If not, please give me a few specific measurements so I can re-scale this dwg. Have a good weekend. (Enjoy Larry F - how many hrs ?) Steve J
