Folks,I too am interested in the Corvair engine. From reading Wynne's web page, Isomehow got the impression that, among other things, he supplied a camshaft.Do any of you know if this cam was a regrind to get the HP curve movedcloser to the torque curve, or was it a stock regrind? The RPM range fordeveloping 100 HP was appealing to me because it was no faster than what theengine would turn in the car at around 65 - 70 mph -- which it could do allday.Anyone know about this camshaft? I suppose I could research the open andclose angles myself, but if he's done that already, why should I bother?Engine development is not something I really want to do -- I want to buildan airplane with a reasonably priced, dependable engine! I enjoy engineassembly, but not development.Thanks,Mike________________________________________________________________________________
