There is a place in Shelbourne, Mass., that specializes in 
        Corvair restoration and motor parts.  I cannot remember the name 
        but they advertise in VW T&A regularly because they make a kit 
        that will put a Corvair engine in a Type II.  I sent for their 
        catalog and information kit a couple of years ago.  The swap 
        looked straightforward enough and included a lot of information 
        on reversing that ring.  It seemed fairly simple according to 
        their directions.
        
        I did not pursue it but I gave the catalog to my brother-in-law 
        because he fools with Corvairs the way we do Volks busses.  He 
        has an engine, several in fact, that I could use but the swap 
        does not interest me.  Yes, one of those engines is from a Spyder 
        convertible wreck that he bought for next to nothing from a local 
        wrecking yard.  If I had another bus then maybe but not in this 
        one.
        
        IAE, the place is in Shelbourne and used to be called something 
        like "Otto Parts" or some such name.  Check the magazine for the 
        ad.
