It's my understanding that there is a VW engine seal that is a great
replacement for the stock EM corvair part(s).  Of course, not having owned
an FC until recently, I never paid much attention as to what VW it was
originally from.  Anybody know what I should be asking for at the local
veedub parts store?

Joel,
Yes there is a VW truck engine seal that works great in all Corvairs, all 
years.  It does work best in an early or FC.  I have used it several times.  Just 
go to your local VW repair or parts garage and ask for the "H" shaped foam, 
engine compartmrnt seal.  It comes in a roll that is just long enough to do a 
Corvair.  Plan your cuts ahead, cut at a 45 degree angle, and install the fron 
one first.  Then the two sides and the rear last.  I've found that this works 
best.  Cut with a new razer blade or box cutter blade.  Install with the 
shinny side up for best oil resistance.
