I thought I had bookmarked the site where a gent had all kinds of data and
sources for Corvair engines for adaptation to aviation.
Now I can't locate that site.
Hope someone one can help me find any Corvair aviation engine site.
in advance. . .thanks.
PS. Is 100 hp about max one can get out of a Beetle 4 cyc opposed air
cooled engine w/o turbo charging?

To answer your first question:

As to the second, 100 hp is way more than you can get from the VW.
Actually, I have had my dissagreements with Veeduber over the true
figure--because I am willing to consider maximum continuous power as a
percentage of maximum take-off power and also because I am willing to
suppose that maximum continuous power can be increased slightly (possible as
much as 10%) by the use of a cooling fan to augment the cooling pressure.
But I would personally forget about 100 hp from a VW, and would not
personally consider anything that ordinarily needed more than 45 hp from a
VW for extended periods during the climb.
