Out of curiosity what is your opinion of the Corvair engine?

Excellent.

It is a modern engine, with full-flow oil filtration, hydraulic cam
followers and a modern valve train. It also has more bearing area per
HP and a crankshaft that facilitates installation of a propeller.

I suggest you either leave the thing perfectly stock, including the
blower, as used by Bernard Pietenpol, or buy William Wynne's
conversion manual and follow it religiously.
