>What flat-6 is only 110hp? Corvair?

Yep. Realistically that's more like 98 HP as the Corvair figures were from
an engine with a fan, etc.

The Corvair guys are building very reliable engines in the 150 HP range
with modern fuel injection and minor things like exhaust and head massaging.

Not a popular engine some folks but not worse than the aircooled VW engines.
