Joe,

Think I have both stashed somewhere. If I can find them, they're yours. Give me a couple days to look.

Desirable core is 65 or later and 95-110 heads and no smog heads. Best to start with the manuals.

I have been on "fly corvair" many times, guess I just needed to dig some more to understand the numbering and parts system. WW book and DVD should give the details on finding a usable core.

Thanks again,

Joe

Two questions

Post by Joe Walker »

Hi, new to the forum..... REALLY like this kit.

First- How do I go about searching for the right corvair engine core, I would like to build the 3000cc 120hp motor. Is it like lycombing where there is a myriad of models of the same hp or is it more straitforward, just search net for 3000 cc corvair core? All things considered (weseman crank, bearing and WW parts) what salvaged corvair parts would I need to bring to a corvair college? Many people are parting out case, heads, etc....

Second- much simpler question....where do I find the video on the new spar rivet squeezer? Looked all over and could not find it. I'm sure it is staring me right in he face.

Thanks,

Joe
