I decided to move to a Viking 110 and a single power lever and a company that I get along with. Bill Clapp assembled this engine for me in 2022. The engine is still brand new after all new internals. All she needs is intake, exhaust plus a carb. ~$15K spent on this engine and FWF in 2022. I have tested the starter but didn't have an intake or exhaust to fire it up. $6.5K to buy the core parts plus ~ $8K+ between Clapp and WW for assembly and FWF components. I found myself in an argument with Clapp over the 7 mo assembly timeline and then WW also refused to sell me additional parts as I kept pressing them for parts statuses after purchase and it led to a clash with both men. Simply makes more sense for me to step away from Corvair at this point and take my lumps.

thats sad,bill used to be right on top of stuff,i think ever since his good friend died in one of his airplanes over speeding i think it affected him big time,but if you cant get customer service its hard to move on,,
