<VV> High performance cooling

[Crawford Rose]

It is clear that a high performance solution to cooling a high output Corvair engine does not belong on this forum. However, if Chevrolet R&D could not readily resolve this problem then, how should we be able to do so today?  We could make our engines into Porsche engines with dry sump 9 quart oiling systems with oil radiators in the front fenders; and add electric cooling fans to air conditioning condensers that have been relocated to the fenders; or to increase the aluminum content of our engines to displace 3.6 liters.  Consider that a low stress, high displacement engine produces much less heat that a small displacement, high output engine. I submit that the best solution is water cooling the heads, as Porsche has found to be the long term solution. Now who besides me would want to deviate from the GM Religion that a Corvair's biggest weight savings is eliminating a radiator, water pump and heavy H20 coolant?  Yet the humble 1999 model year 2.5 liter, 201 hp/181 ftlbs (net) Porsche Boxster has it all over the Corvair in both the power and cooling department.  Many speed freaks before us have attacked the Corvair's performance "issues"... ask yourself, am I next to spend too much money for an extra fifty horsepower? ha-ha!  Appreciate what made the original Corvair a sensation.
