Putting this in the Supplier/Manufacturer section because it is kind of an informal market analysis. Been thinking about this for quite a while and it's looking like I may need a project to occupy my time when it's too cold to venture outside.
What I'd kind of like to find out is just how much of a demand there would be for a clean sheet designed air-cooled VW head for aircraft use. These would incorporate dual plugs, ports designed for direct drive RPMs, better cooling of the exhaust valve and overall and a few other features to make them better for aircraft use. These would be A and B heads, or front and rear thus requiring 1 head per cylinder, similar to the SCAT split port head concept.
Any ideas or thoughts, positive, negative, or even extremely outlandish are welcome. No hardware is promised. For now this is just a Vaporware thought project.
