<VV> Finding someone to work on Corvairs (was "Corvair vs. Falcon")

[Ron]

Right on as just in the last few weeks I had to send a pair of heads for my 
Rampside 1200 miles to Los Angeles to be refurbished as there are no places 
to have this done in the entire Northwest.  At least, that's what I was told 
by several people when I inquired.  A Falcon head, I'm sure, could be done 
satisfactorilly at a local machine shop.
