William Wynne has a KR-1 that he's putting a Corvair on, and he may be finished with it already, knowing that crew. I'd expect to move the battery to the very tail, and then add some lead on top of that, but climb rate and top speed should be breathtaking, to say the least. Maybe moving the fuel tank from the front to the back of the seat would fix you up pefectly though.
