<VV> 1960 motor

[shortle]

Hi Terry, I never knew that. And I am not sure it is accurate information as I thought ONLY the '60 had the cylinders you describe. Isn't the bore size different from '60 to '61 henceforth the larger displacement engine (140 inch vs. 145 inch)? And I am sure only the '60 had the large balance tube. And would this also apply to the Corvair Lakewood in '61?  I am still learning.
