OK, I’ll be the one to say it..
How about a Corvair big bore 3.0 Air cooled 6, easy and cheap compared to some of the other options.. |

When I first signed onto 914World around 2010, there was a lot more talk about Corvair engines in 914's. I haven't heard of anyone pursuing it lately. I know they used to be pretty cheap but I'm not sure about easy. Fitting the trans, engine tin and mounting the engine are probably parts you need to fabricate. Reading over some of the threads back in 2010, I was convinced it wasn't the right option for me. |
