Thread: I Got My Engine....

Tweet

I got my stroker engine for the Corvair out of the machine shop today, they've been holding it for me for two months.

SWEEEEEEET!!!

Now, how hard will it be to let it sit in bags in the corner while I finish my bodywork???

Too damn hard!

stock was 2.94".

I had a late crank offset ground to 3.20" using long stock rods and pistons with relocated pins.

The cylinders are Salih 3 9/16" for VW with reground decks and bolt holes.

If I can keep valve seats in it, it should be a strong runner.

Having gone thru that The major problem it getting the fuel to the motor. The last time I saw Seth was at the fan belt toss in Calif. At that time I think the big boys were using weber 3 hole carbs & Porsche verticle fan for cooling. Big bucks.
The place to get info on Corvairs is Virtual Vairs web site. Seth is frequently on that site.........Don

I'm already a V.V. member. I don't know what I would have done without them.

The last Corvair rolled off the line five years before I was born, so help from "old timers" who have been there is most helpful.

P.S....did anyone get the pic in my "signature" line yet???

For those not in-the-know, its the rear of an Early Corvair.
