Hey that top picture is from starr cook, off road racer .
Wallin Piper was making some individaul heads for the vairs and starr has like the only finished set. Dont get me wrong DR. I have had plenty of success with em just noting the weak link, When you could buy a whole 64 turbo spyder car for 150.00 dollars those head mods were out of the question. Back in the day. |

Ya, those heads are off of Starr's old web site. He still makes stuff and sells it on ebay. He has skills, but is kind of an arrogant SOB (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Here is where I will likely end up with mine, 6 runners with one 4bbl (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s)

Hey Doc - according to what I've read - and this may be similar to the T4 engine, it's way too easy to get extra fuel into the 'Vair, even without doing much headwork. The key to making power is cleaning up the exhaust flow out of the heads. This requires angle-cut ports and special outlet tubes. Without that, it's basically bottle-necked. That's one reason I bagged putting the 'Vair into my buggy - way too easy to get into a couple grand into just headwork to get into the 200+hp club.
Your engine should make tons of torque though, should be perfect for the Bus! Jeff |

Jeff,
do you recognize that case? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It was yours once. The heads can be done for not too much if you have friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have Root to do my head welding and working and my contacts at Feaser's machine shop in Hbg. Paul, no. Neat, but no. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Update: So I tried to CC my heads using a large 60cc syringe from work (dont worry, they are disposable), it was way too difficult to get the thing to work accurately as it was too big and dribbled too much (I know many of you heard that before). I got one of my friends to snag me some pipettes from her lab, but she only had 5ml pipettes so it took a little longer to fill each chamber. One head turned out to be all 58cc, the other head was 56, 79, 60cc. This sucked as my CR with these volumes would be about 7 or even lower. Soooo, I dropped the heads back off at the machine shop today so they could cut them down .055". They are not fast, though, so I hope it doesnt take too long (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Meanwhile, I am waiting on my .040" copper head gaskets which supposedly shipped yesterday.....5 days after they were supposed to. WTF is the deal with these gaskets? Everyone offers them, no one stocks them. I also am still waiting on the machine shop to clean up my oil pump housing, and finishing my other barrel. I cant do anything more on teh engine until the rest of this stuff is done......(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

QUOTE(maf914 @ Feb 9 2009, 11:46 AM) That is the first time I have seen the Corvair intake manifold. Two runners into the manifold then three intake ports. Doesn't look very efficient. One question: Why did they do that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I think I've heard that people cut off the manifold to fit triple throat Webers. From Jeffs phot it looks like you could fit a dual throat Weber if you had a suitable manifold. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) And that engine case sure looks different form a VW/Porsche case. Very square looking. Interesting. NOT that I am dising (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) the effort or engine but it sure makes you appreciate the German counterpart! |

Nothing wrong with the stock engine, mine is a little modified and with any modified engine there comes some tweaking.

In a way the case reminds me of a ferrari case I saw apart.
This one is a working model, 8hp at 10,500 rpm  |
