Agreed on all counts. I wonder how things would have turned out of they did
a more serious redesign of the engine for the 1965 model year... You now, WAY
better heads, a REAL cooling fan, more room for more stroke, larger crank
journals, stiffer crankcase, etc... I don't think OHC would have been needed, if
the thing had the other stuff... A 300 HP Corvair would have made the
Mustnag see nothing but taillights.. <G>

Good memory! Assasination of Corvair by Andrew J. White published in 1969,
scientifically refuted all claims against the Corvair. Remember though to
thank Ralph, since GM would have killed the Corvair off much earlier if not for
his lawsuit. It was too expensive to build and noncompetitive against
Mustang and others.
