Hi, everyone.  I deep in the final stages of deciding what I want to do for my next project, and I'm starting to settle on a Zenith Zodiac 650B with a Corvair on the front.  I've read a lot on the flycorvair.net/com site, and there is a LOT of dense info there. I think the option to build with standard cylinders, but use the new dished pistons that Mr. Wynn was talking about a year ago (for the 2775 engine) would be a good way for me to go.  Barring the availability of the pistons, which still don't seem to be for sale yet, a basic 2850 would be my best option.  



Other than buying the rebuild manual from Mr. Wynn, what can I do to get myself up to speed on the ins and outs of the engine?

For reference, I completely rebuilt and designed the installation of the rotary that I hung on the front of my Dyke Delta.  This included building the control computer (a MegaSquirt), setting up the complete, single-lever throttle system along with the fuel map and  advance tables, designing an intake charge system (it wasn't super, but it was a Corvair fan), and an exhaust system.  The best I can say about it is that it all worked.  That's all to say that I have a little understanding of engines, and I know which end of the ratchet to hold.

And the next one is at Zenair!!  This is perfect.  Thank you, Mr. Franklin.

If at all possible you should attend a Corvair College.  I've been to three of them and they helped me immensely.
