<VV> Webers with a big bore kit?

Fri Jul 4 00:07:18 EDT 2008

Welcome to V V  and Corvairs in General!   If you'll do Web  Searches for 
those terms it will turn up 100's!

Recently at the International Convention  we had 2-  5 speed  cars, one 
driven from Seattle and both ran at the Willow Springs Raceway   track event...both 
driven home!  The cars have had the weak  parts   reworked for longevity...

Big Bore?  are you talking oversized pistons 0.060"?   or  the use of VW  / 
Mahle  94 mm  cyll.-pistons??

There are most likely several dozen cars out there like that... most street  
driven as most SCCA classes only allow small overbores...  on the street  
anything goes...

Webers?   Clarks sells the 2 bbl. Weber Stromberg kits.....and 3  bbls are 
available numerous places.....and most  performance  run the  triples... 32-34 
mm chokes work best on the street..

come to the Corvair Olympics in Indy  at the end of this month and  you'll 
see them all, as well as see them run..drags, Autocross / Road  course

Has  anyone ever built a big bore engine with webers?  I'm thinking  about
building an engine for my Corsa, something streetable but with that  geewiz
factor.  I've always been enamored with the weber set up but  also the big
bore stuff.  Is this a possible set up?  Any other  thoughts on this engine
combo?  

Also anybody ever  dealt with the 5 speed transmission that's out for these
cars based off the  borg warner trans?  Ive heard about issues with it, just
wondering,  seems like it could be a good change if the ratios were right.
