RE: Strokers, etc.

It was near the Illinois/Missouri border, north of St. Louis.  Where 
did you get the reverse rotation cam and gear?  Chuck found one 
but I think he would like another.  Is your gear bronze?  BTW, I'm 
going to go back sometime with a camera to take some pictures.  
I'll snag some of his literature too.

Chuck also showed me pictures of Buick 401 nailhead powered 
Corvair he once did (mid-engined).  Very nice work.  

There was another guy on the web with a Buick 215 stroker 
mounted up to a PG in a Corvair as well.  He was running an 
Offy 2 x 2 bbl intake manifold.
