I like that a lot! Think I'd ditch the mahoosive supercharger tho lol

Nice work Wig, I wished I had installed/moved those hangers back when fitting the corvair, but it looks like a pig of a job! Getting there :cool:

Well you learn something new every day :cool:

If I had my time again I'd keep it standard, apart from fitting twin carbs. I have changed everything and I mean everything over the years and my advise is keep it simple and usable and you will be happy.

I fitted a toothed belt to see how it performs, bc the engine has been reversed the alternator side is slack (see pic) and when hot it won’t always give a charge due to slip, it’s taken me ages to figure out the reason after noting the patterns over the last couple of trips So on testing...
