The page at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/3100.html and the links from there should answer just about anything. > 3. Does anyone know if WW booklet describes building them out wiht the VW > jugs. My copy of the William Wynne manual just mentions that the 3100cc option is possible, and that's about it. Otherwise, his manual is indispensible if you are going to build a Corvair, and since leadtime is an issue on anything ordered from WW, order it soon. It's the most important thing you need to build a Vair engine. Like Colin said, the 3100cc engine is a large effort, with lots of places to go wrong. I think at a minimum you add 32 different places where subpar machine work can screw it up, so I'd only let Ray Sedman, Jeff Ballard, or Wheelerizing actually do the machine work, and even then, you still need to do a lot of checking and measuring. As you can see from my 3100cc webpage, this is not for first time engine builders that are in a hurry to get flying. If you are really interested in building a Corvair engine, you should join the CorvAircraft list by sending an email to corvaircraft-j...@mylist.net . I'd be tempted to stick to the 2.7 liter engine, personally, even though I DO enjoy a challange...
