Subj: Re: <VV> New Cast Aluminum  Corvair Cylinder Heads


If you have access to _fastvair at yahoogroups_ (mailto:fastvair at yahoogroups) 
, check out the  photo section for heads by cottysay; I designed the heads 
to replace the 140  heads.  These are 2D images, unfortunately in .jpg, but I 
have 3D images  in .pdf, one of which I have enclosed.  Maybe these will 
help, as I had a  LOT of feedback on fastvair as I intended to put those heads 
into production.  As to some of your questions--exhaust tubes would have to 
be cut from SS tube;  I planned on using flat-top pistons, adjusting 
cylinder head and base gaskets  for C.R. control, but the CAD program didn't give 
me reliable clues to the C.C  volume; I postulated individual heads for each 
cylinder with an intake  manifold tying the heads together; I had figured 
on using temp. sending units  in selected sparkplug holes; he heads were 
designed with the idea of using as  many 140 parts as possible--valves, rocker 
arms, pushrods; they were designed  for 5-16" deep valve seats, 1.88" 
diameter on the intakes, 1.6" on the  exhausts.

We  have a 110 head and 140 head at the pattern shop now.  The  pattern
maker has asked a few questions maybe some of you guys could  help
with:

1)  Does anyone make new exhaust tubes for the  heads?

2) What compression and CCs should we plan for.  The head  would need
to be as univresal as possible becasue we can only make one  casting,
but there could possibly be some machining  variations.

3)  What shape piston should we plan  for?

4)  Does anyone know of an engine  available?

5)  Is there a temperature sending unit threaded into  each cylinder
head?  ie Does each car have 2 temperature sending  units, one on each
head?


Some notes of things most likely to  be included:

Interlocking Valve Seats
More free flowing exhaust  port
Closer valve seats with a larger Intake Valve
Top of the Intake  Manifold will be a bolt on plate so you may select
carburetor or fuel  injection configurations.
Spark Plug will be directed at exhaust  valve
