WilliamDid you use any of Wynne's component's? I had the opportunity to stop andvisit with him about 6 months ago and he had lot of things related toCorvair's, (cranks, prop hubs, etc.). He seemed to be very knowledgeable,(I'm not sure I know enough to judge), and I had planned to utilize hisresources. I may try to go down there (about 2 hrs south) and see him againif I can get in contact with him.Larry RaganJacksonville, Fl.________________________________________________________________________________

What specifications were used to reground the stock cam?? I've always heardthe 95 H.P. cam should be substituted into the 110 H.p. engine.Domenic ----------________________________________________________________________________________
