Tony, the issue was, sticking a set of hemi heads on  a Corvair engine 
requires rockers VERY different from the Corvair rockers.  


AB-solutely.   On this, we  agree...   (lol)    Particularly of mention is 
the  off-angle layout in most air cooled aero hemi engines as regards 
pushrods, and  the rockers in these aero engines are nothing like the zigzag 
shaped rockers  necessary in a hemi head installation on a car of the likes of a 
'Vair or any  other engine with an inline bank of cylinders.   One look at a 
Mopar  hemi rocker assembly is enough to make you glad 'Vair rockers are 
the way they  are.  
You wouldn't happen to have any photos or diagrams of those aero hemi  
heads, would you?  I'd like to have a look, if I may.  And yes, I've  seen Mopar 
hemi rockers, both the new type and the stuff from the '50's and know  what 
you mean.  BTW, did you know that the original Dodge hemi had the same  
bore as a 164 cid Corvair?
