<VV> V> Head musings

[Sadek Charles H DLVA]

I think I have the perfect compromise.  We just mount a Corvair body on the
930....  better yet, a trashed new GT R as raced in ALMS, etc.  You can out
run damn near anyone...  Or wait for the new supercharged Cadillac SLR-V and
mount the body to that....

I was  introduced to a set of heads for a Porsche a few weeks ago. These 
were  930's I believe 911's are similar.
I know I'll get flamed for this but  thats ok.
These were overhead cam engines weren't they?
Wouldn't be it  possible to  modify a block and move the head studs into 
position to  bolt these up and then create/modify an existing crank cam 
belt drive gear  from the Porsche to mount on the end of the crank 
shaft.

Ignore the  cooling shroud questions for the moment-

This seem dangerously easy to  me. Has anyone tried this yet?



Say, there Cash - Why don't you try it and let us know? <grin>  Probably 
easier and certainly cheaper to put in the Porsche motor complete. Now,
now, Vair 
guys - before you call sacrilege, you will still have an air  cooled rear 
engined flat six. Closer to a Vair than a Crown mid-V8! Probably not  as
fast, 
though - Unless you corralled the rest of that 930! -  Seth
