Car engines used in airplanes have a bad reputation. William Wynne owner of Flycorvair.com thinks that the problem is people that are unwilling to learn and spend money to develop it. They only see it as a low-cost alternative that you can just rip it out of the junkyard and put it in a plane. The most important thing is who you choose to work with.
Corvair motors offer training for those who want to use the engine. They believe that the most reliable machine is the simplest machine that does the job and operated by a well-trained person. The Corvair 110 HP weights 225 HP. It is 2850 CC and requires no machine work to the case. This fully assembled engine including the carburetor and intake manifold costs $13,600.
