I just watched your entire series on this V8 Corvair, going back to each one to "like" them all. This is definitely a complicated and Interesting way to V8 a Corvair. When I got out of high school in '71 I worked in a automotive machine shop. The shop did a lot of racing engines for stock cars, drag cars and tractor pullers. Plus the shop was FAA certified repairs. The owner had done a small block 350 in a Corvair the usual way. Dangerous position for the water pump pulley being right behind your elbow when shifting. For some reason he never finished the project. It ran good, drove good, was a treat to drive. Having experience in fabrication I commend you on the quality and expertise. Nice collection of tooling and machines you have there. Interesting to watch and a bit of comedy mixed in! Would like to say a bit on the 3000 stall converter. I tried one in my 2001 S10 ZR2 when I rebuilt the engine and transmission for better performance in 2006. Way too loose for the street, required high rpm take offs from stops that were ridiculous. It also led to burning of the transmission clutches. Replaced it with a 2500 stall and it's been working great for 17 years. Still comes off the line hard and the fluid stays red with no burn smell what so ever and I drive it fairly hard.
I always loved that body style Corvair. Engine, with a turbo, is great and suspension looks pretty trick (I used this style suspension on 1/10 scale Monster Trucks). I'll have to go back in your videos and see how all this came about. Great job!
Masterful job. Looks like aerospace work, organized, neat, orderly. I was a licensed aircraft mechanic, A & P, back in the sixties. I was involved with building the prototype AEROSTAR twin engine executive aircraft for TedSmith Aviation. It went on to become a very popular very fast plane for those who could afford one. They are still produced today, I believe by Cessna.
AWESOME that you drove it around like that, man after my own heart 👍 All builds have some teething issues. Considering how much of the car you basically redesigned and rebuilt, I would say your initial drive around was stellar. Thanks for the great video, and keep up the great work. Can't wait to see it on the track !!!
That car brings back memories. I put a 455 Olds Toronado drivetrain in the back of a Corvair. Lots of custom fab work. I was able to conceal the engine and keep the rear seat. A true sleeper! Awesome power, scary brakes...you aim for one driveway, and turn in the next! I ended up selling it, a guy that just had to have it.
There used to be a guy that lived next door to a friend who had a Corvair with a 427 in it, it would wheelie like crazy. It was always in gray primer, don`t know how he did it, always assumed a Toronado drivetrain. It was crazy fast too.
The resistor is a “pull up circuit” it increases the signal voltage. The engine bleed line lowest at engine cap is sucking air in from expansion tank. It needs to be teed into the bottom of the expansion tank line. Your expansion tank should have a radiator cap & an overflow line coming from it to bottom of your overflow tank. Look at a Silverado or Tahoe expansion tank setup.
I vintage race a 1965 Lola T70. Use a two quart surge tank with radiator cap on it. Overflow line to catch bottle, top tank line comes from radiator top to purge air. Bottom of surge tank is -8 to heater hose fitting on water pump. 350 SB. The water pump has suction on the -8 line, & it works very well for system filling, radiator purge is -4 & has a little higher pressure than the tank so there’s a little pressure gradient to purge it out.
Back in the mid 90's I came out of work one day to find two guys looking at my '67 Corvair. We'd been chatting for a few minutes before I realized it was Ralph Nader. I had a vague knowledge of him and the book. He blessed my car saying that Chevy had fixed the unsafe issues for the 2nd gen. and he wished he'd bought a few when they were cheap. Lol, they were definitely still cheap!
Wow. What a work in progress. Looks really complicated, John. I suppose you just break it down into a billion steps, huh? And why aren't there more subscribers to this channel? People are missing out on the quality craftsmanship. Anyway, I really appreciate the videos. Thanks, man.
I had a friend do a Corvair 350 SBC mid engine with a stick shift in the '70's. He had a carpeted cover where the back seat had been.There was no covering up the noise of that engine sitting a foot behind your ears. Unbelievably fast with good handing. I do like your rocker arm suspension. Very slick. Looking forward to seeing this finished.
My mid engine corvair didn't have a cover was a 350 horse 350 LT1 the rear ends lasted me ten minutes 2 in 2 days the mid engine kit killed the great handling ability that the motor in the rear had cops used to pull me over just to look at the car . The 63 olds 215 is 10 pounds lighter than the corsa turbo motor . .radiator in front and gas tank .I balanced the car on center between front and rear wheels easyly teeter totter the car balanced .. front and rear .. the car was like a cat on a shag carpet
@@raymondspellman2979 My same friend dropped that 215 aluminum block into a Vega. If I remember correctly, he said it weighed 40lbs more than the stock 4 banger and made 100hp more. That too was a fun car.

Ralph Nader will be coming for you. His hatred of Corvairs is legendary. Btw nice build. A friend of built a v8 Corvair in the early 80s with a blown small block.
Watching that "work of art" rear suspension doing its job is impressive. Finding snow tires in your size may be the biggest obstacle you will face on this build.😉 I hope that weather leaves as fast as it came in.👍✌️
Is you're V8 corvair getting hot .? Where the top radiator hose connects to the radiator put a big washer there to restrict the flow ...problem solved.
Awesome job!! It’s unbelievable the time and effort you have put into the little details all over this car. I hope you get the coolant/degas bottle situation resolved. Can we get some more shots of your crazy rear suspension please? Thanks Steve from Phoenix
@@JohnReynolds661 This may help with your cooling system issues. Another builder seemed to have a very similar problem, below is the link, the video should be cued up to the 8:55 mark where he solves the puzzle. I really hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/8HfWTlElMrY/v-deo.html You've done a really great job, very cool and thank you for sharing.
would have to study your cooling system up close myself but years ago I ran into a similar issue and the fix became using two radiator caps because I had an odd mounted radiator like yours. The second expansion tank would be near the radiator and the first would be the high point at the engine. Engine overflow used a hose back to the radiator expansion tank so the coolant was always returned to the system. As I recall, I sent the engine overflow to the expansion tank via a t-fitting low down so any air would purge, but any vacuum would draw coolant. Both caps had the internal valve. Obviously, you'd need to fill via the lower cap first, then top up at the higher cap, leaving some space for expansion.
Back in the late '60s and early '70s, "enthusiasts" would do a similar engine swap, a V8 in the back seat and race (more like a time trial) Corvairs, in the darkness of night, from Los Gatos, CA to Santa Cruz, CA on Hwy 17 (pre-cement center divider that we enjoy today). I don't recall what some of the times were or average speed but one can imagine ... 18 miles of twists and turns, sheer acceleration, pedal to the floor braking, apex to apex across 4 lanes.

A front lower air dam would help the airflow thru the radiator and help it run cooler. I have an econoline and they are notorious for running hot. I built a 6 inch air dam on the bottom of the bumper and no more running hot. It doesn't even warm up all the way.
Car looks great so far. We just had another 12 to 15 inches of snow here in SD. Your snow should be gone in a few days! We on the other hand are not so lucky.... probably late April!
John, remove and inspect the radiator cap. The little pressure holding cap inside in the middle of the cap should be loose. If it is stuck, then you found the problem. Sometimes that little valve gets stuck to the rubber seal even if its new. Nice to see the project rolling down the road. It must be tracking good. Otherwise you mentioned it. Thanks for entertaining us gearheads.

Cool conversion. There was a Toranado 455 front wheel drive mid engine Corvair back in the early 70's. It was wicked.
The Toranado set-up was the way to go back in the day.
There was a school auto shop teacher once who put a 455 in the front of a Corvair.
