And beware of the turbo Corvair, they had overheating problems under
continous load.

The normally aspirated engines are good - 110 and 95 HP 1965 and newer
engines. The 140 is good too but have less tolerance for heat but are very
good if driven by an attentive driver.

Personally I'm working towards a 110 HP engine with a 3.55 4 speed manual
gearbox. I have heard nothing but good things about this conversion. I'm
driving a '78 baywindow Westy not a Vanagon by the way.

I also expect to get a few extra ponies with the (later) addition of fuel
injection, modern ignition, and exhaust upgrades. I'll apply all that to
140 HP heads.
