Will you take this baby to the dyno? Would be really interested what the tricab setup can do(and the other performance parts of course). Keep up the work!
I recently bought another Corvair, its a 65, 140 Corsa, and I would love to do what you did to your engine. but where did you get your intake manifolds from, or did you have them made for you. they look Awesome!!! mike
I find it interesting that you are building a engine for high performance but adding AC which as we know requires power from the engine. I realize you live on the Left Coast and the weather requires AC. Also modern AC compressors are way more efficient than the old ones. Nice looking engine.
Man that whole car is going to be P.P. ! IMHO You'll be + or - 240 on the HP ! & your spot on about doing fabrication of parts whether it a custom build like your engine ! Or sometimes a stock engine build , I remember I couldn't find a replacement or nos choke tube for a 60 Corvair that I use to own ! & it was the original 1 year only design of the 140 C.I. 80 HP engine that went to the exhaust manifold up to the choke that sat up at the top center of the air horn intake that was a single choke it was so strange how it wasn't connected to the carbs. long story short , I took a metal fuel line , & fabricated by hand , & no one could tell it wasn't stock ! What are you going to do about the shrouds that go on the sides , & back of the engine to keep the engine heat out as well as the front, & seal the parameter ? Looks like more fabrication will be needed . Looking forward to the next video ! Thanks .
Well I get a lot of people telling me that I have to run full shrouds but I don’t I have blocked off the number five hole and I have covered the heater vent by the bell and I don’t have any heating issues I run on average 230 cylinder head temp with a max of 380 pulling a grade and in canyons the harder I run it it still runs cool
@@aldelapena I don't know on a build like that , The idea behind running full shrouds is it pulls in more cool air over the engine , & forces it out the rear via the lower shrouds ! & it keeps the exhaust heat out when your at idle from coming back up into the engine compartment ! But if your running those kind of temps. your fine .
Are you running an external cooler? Otherwise "eight quarts" of oil? - Nice install of the Webers. Waiting for the next installment! (Also, dist. is driven off the crankshaft.)

Very interesting to watch . My 1965 Monza 110 was my favourite car. Mine was blue. Body by Fischer . It was perfect
Hot looking Motor!! Great Job!! I think the Corvair is a very underrated piece of Automotive History. F Unsafe at any Speed!!!!!
Just found this and am going to watch the whole gazoogas. My first car and my all time favourite. Hero car.

Definitely will be going to the dyno really am excited to see 200 HP
