<VV> Head musings

[JVHRoberts@aol.com]

Anything's possible. Moving the studs, not a HUGE deal, especially if you use 
the Porsche cylinders. However, 911 engines have a wider bore spacing than 
the Corvair, and that rules out the OHC hardware. In fact, you'll have to mill 
the sides of the heads and cylinders to get it all to fit. And then there's all 
the valve train you'll need to make to accomodate the hemi heads...

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?
