Guys:Just received engine built up by Larry's Corvair. Looks great!Can someone fill me in on what covers the crank/cam gear end of the block? Is it as simple as cutting up a transmission bell?Crank mod came out very nice threaded to national fine so Vi's alum. prop hub sits right at home. Minor lathe turning req. on prop shaft.Planning on running small sealed magnet dynamo by Bill Bainbridge of B&C Specialties in Newton, KS so belt will loop around top fan, idler, harmonic balancer, and dynamo. Also, anyone w/ 'vair powered ship please update me on carb experience and current carb heat setup.Thanks!C.J. Beck________________________________________________________________________________

Joe,could you give more info on the "dynamo"fromB&C.Regarding wieght/priceetc. I am using 2 original chevy carbs,built a heat/filter box under the oilpan,and built 2 heat muffs,one on each home made manifold.I have not had itin the air yet,but if you are interested,i will take the camera out to theshop and DIRECT EMAIL TO YOU pictures of what i have done. Thier is an article in the EAA EXPERIMENTER , of a fellow using originalcarbs rather than the highly restrictive under engine induction system someuse.If you like i can scan the article or give you the issue data. Doug
