Nice engine. The KR was designed for a VW though . . . and sure have been a lot of us that have had great good luck with the chugger. Whether with GP or Revmaster, keep the oil and cylinder head temps under control and they run reliably and forever. Parts are inexpensive. The best single key to running them cool is not so much perfect baffling and a big oil cooler - although these help. The best single key to running a VW in such a way that it will fun forever without problems is simply to keep the RPM between 2900 and 3200. Heat is the killer.
Some of the nicest KR's have the 0-200 though. Troy Pettaway's, Larry Flesner's, Jeff Scott's . . . who am I forgetting? Mark's immaculate installation of his Corvair always has me drooling when I go through his pictures. I think Dan Heath still has an almost brand new fully-converted Corvair with all the trimmings for sale, keep in mind. Just some engine thoughts. You can't go wrong with a Type 1 if you run it as Steve Bennett recommended. It's an amazing little engine. Type IV would seem to be even better - but as with all the other choices, cost becomes more of a factor.
