Corvair 6 cyl air cooled horz opposed

The HO 6 sounds sooo good. Kinda like my old honda valkyrie with the 6 into 6 pipes.

My grandfather was a machinist. I saw these running when I was a kid. One day I’ll get them going again.

If anybody wants to come hang out one Saturday and drink bourbon and work on these, I’m down. No clue what they need to get going.

Doubt these are too rare, but it's old and super cool in my opinion. Little 3-horse Briggs I'm working on. Likely doesn't need much, I've just been tinkering on other things (I'm good at starting a project, setting it aside and starting something else, rinse / repeat until I have shit everywhere).
