Ok, Caveman, slow down before you lose another hair. I was very
interested in the total weight. If your 2180 is 208 and a corvair is
around the same I can't see myself going the VW route. A corvair can
get me 110 hp on 6 cyl. This has got to be a smoother engine for the
same weight.

Yeah, Lou.

For 110 I'd rather try a Corvair too.
But I think it would last longer at 80-90.

I can't see the Corvair weighing any 208 pounds installed, either...
220 - 250, depending on what's involved. (Not a Pietenpol!)

Just my opinion.
as usual, YMMV...
