Wasn't there a commercial application air compressor using a Corvair 
engine in this configuration, running off one bank of cylinders and 
the other bank was plumbed to simply pump air?

==================================================
 In Brazil  VW 4's were used for everything in the 70's


I've seen a 2 cylinder one side engine with a "reedvalve" head on the other for air... and it was connected to a generator  at the flywheel end and a water pump was belt driven off the double crank pulley..


Wonder how many CFM  a 3 cylinder Vair engine could pump at  3600 rpm?  Too lazy to calc it...ggg
