KR>Corvair engine mount

2008-10-12 Thread Richard Parker
Well I ended up making a jig out of MDF that clamped on the front of my firewall, that way I could set everything up close to the dimensions that were provided by some of you. I chose to make the rectangular frame a little wider that way I can put on "tabs" (ala Dave Mullins) that can be moved

Does anyone know what the nightly camping (tent) charge at OSH is? I conveniently booked a business trip out there during Airventure and am going to be at OSH on Wednesday July 30th for "Beer and Brats" We are only going to be there for one night, so if anyone has some room and wants their acc

Most of the soob builders (including me before I caught the corvair bug) I knew were using the EA-82. The EJ-22 is a much better choice as at has more ponies. Get the 300hp WRX engine and now you'd be able to give just about anyone a run for their money. Rich Parker Peterborough, NH richonther
