Pietenpol-List: Aerovee Engine Revisited
Original Posted By: Matt Dralle
Thanks to all of the input from many of you guys and some additional study, I'vecome to the conclusion there are better alternatives to the VW/Aerovee for aPiet.Simply. The Aerovee puts out about 125 ft./lbs. of torque and turns a 54" propeasily. The Continental A-65 puts out about 150 ft./lbs. of torque and the Corvairabout 160 ft./lbs. Both would do a better job of swining a 72" plus propand get the necessary thrust required for the Piet.Does anyone have a torque/HP curve for the Model A Ford?Any suggestions on the best sources to purchase Model A, A-65 or Corvair?Thanks for the input.--------Harv, 485PBRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:04:18 -0800

As for the Corvair, the only/best way to start is to visit these two sites:www.flycorvair.net; www.flycorvair.com. I am glad to see that you have movedon from the VW. Continental, Corvair, Ford are ALL better choices!Gary BootheNX308MB-----Original Message-----
