    Hi Tim Finally got my cylinder heads back from Falcon.  Ordered some parts from Clarks

    and Summit to finish up the block.  Maybe I'll get the engine together after all

    Keep in touch- Fred

    Hi Tim-  Falcon had my heads for 9 months- total cost $$1613.28  That was head rebubuild and low profile tubes, an exhaust,. tube spark plug thread and valve cover bolt thread repair. 

    Shipping and packing also.  An earlier comment to you told of my receiving distributor from WW.  Got intake and nose bowl elsewhere.  Nose bowl flanges are a poor fit.  Still need to order exhaust and front spinner bulkhead from ? not sure yet.

    Looks like other builders have problems - Flightcrafters.  Business and economy must be good.

    My Corvair build is at point of no return- when finished I may sell and go Lycoming.

     

    Keep in touch- Fred
