Hi netters. During this past week I have finally reassembled most of the fwd deck and fuel system, in order to run the KR and check out the Ivoprop that I installed earlier. The medium prop that I installed is still not turning fast enough, and it's set at the low pitch stop. My type IV has carried my KR and I for nearly 19 years, and we desire to go faster then 143 MPH and carry a passenger with at least 500 fpm climb. I'm checking out engine options. Corvair question ....which engine models, year models, versions, or serial numbers are most desirable. Which heads, or other features does one look for? What is OK and what should I avoid? For example, I've seen advertised 140 HP and 180 HP engines.
Thanks in advance. I have never used the archives and perhaps with some help from my friends I can find some of my answers located there.
