<VV> Cooling the Corvair Engine

[J R Read_HML]

YEP,  Running headers will help drop the CH temps considerably.  If you 
never need to run the heater, that is a way to go.  On cool nights, check 
the oil filler tube for white "mayonnaise" buildup - indicating you are 
running too cool.  There is also the "ringing ear" problem to consider on 
distance driving.
