At least  one set of Corvair heads were converted to water cooling. A fellow  
 
in southern California made the effort to weld-up a set. The effort  was  
chronicled in a trade magazine I read at the time - about 25  years ago. 
Anybody  
else remember this? It was a welding/metalworking  trade mag of some type. I  
actually cut out the multi-page article  and kept it around for a while. Long 
 
gone now. -  Seth



Yes, I remember since I did the research and wrote the article for the  
Commumique (after seeing the article mentioned by Seth). His name was Lloyd  Taylor 
(now deceased). He designed the Crosley Cobra engine and did the Corvair  
heads in a similar fashion.  This was to fabricate the heads in sheet metal  
pieces and oven-weld all of them together forming the finished product. I saw  and 
drove his water cooled LM back then around 1986.
