I got a really great deal, only $250.00 for what you see here.
The parts alone are worth many times what I paid & I thought about parting it out on Ebay, but decided to check out it's minor problem & use it on our Manx. It was on a sandrail with a VW transaxle & I also got the adapter & clutch/pressure plate.
So I removed the 1600cc VW & installed the Corvair!
After a short bit of running it, I realized a piece of an intake valve seat had dropped out & bounced around the combustion chamber of #5 cylinder. I was going to just replace the piston/cylinder & fix the one chamber, but decided that I wanted to freshen it up, so I could get a 100,000 miles out of it.
I'll have it put back together soon & be back to having FUN FUN FUN!!!
NOTE- it still had a whole bunch more hp/torque on 5 cylinders than my 1600cc on its best day!!!
It has a new Holley 390cfm 4bbl carb.
Ported & polished 140hp heads that I had all new valve guides, new intake seats, new int & exh valves, new springs/retainers/keepers, 1 new ex seat & the bad combustion chamber welded up & machined back to spec.
A OTTO 2 piece deep cast aluminum oil pan.
Electronic ignition.
Custom headers with Super Trapp mufflers & diffuser disks.
One-wire alternator & lots of other goodies!
