Just have a question for the group. I bought 2 Corvair engines from Larry's Corvair shop in California. Then I bought William Wynne's book. Yeah, I know I did it the wrong way. The problem and question is this: The engines they sent me are both 145 cid engines. One from 1960, one from 1963. William Wynne says you need the 164 cid engines. They even had the 95 and 110 horse power versions, but that didn't matter. After the rebuild they were all even. But, what about the 145 cid engines? Are they equally usable? Will the horsepower reduction be an insurmountable problem? The bores seem to be the same, can I just increase the stroke? Have I just been screwed? Do I now own 2 big paper weights? The annoying part is that Larry, with whom I spoke personally, knew that I wanted them for an aviation application. Already sent a note to William Wynne and am awaiting his response. In the interim, any ideas?
Also, the prop bank is a great idea. I suggest we take up a collection at the gathering. See you in about a month. Ray --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - 100MB free storage!
