Whilst I never met Marcus he and I exchanged numerous emails about 914’s, Corvair engines and life before his passing in early 2021.
Some of you may remember he was building a 3.2l Corvair engine for his 914 but unfortunately was never able to hear it running. He sold it shortly before his passing. Does anyone here know what became of Marcus’ engine? Is it roaring into life in Marcus’ honour? I do so miss his emails. Thanks DaveO Australia |

Some of you may remember he was building a 3.2l Corvair engine for his 914 but unfortunately was never able to hear it running. He sold it shortly before his passing. No idea. In fact, I missed that he passed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thats bad news, I knew he had been ill for some time. In many ways '21 was harder then '20, at least in my house, and I think I missed a lot. Marcus was a cool guy. I had noted that he had not posted in a long while, but was hoping he was still hanging on. Zach |
