Is there any easy swaps for a corvair 110 HP.?

By Greg M 4797 Date 2017-02-21 19:24

Sorry to be vague. It's hooked up to a powerglide 1965

By Lloyd B 2301 Date 2017-02-21 22:52

Sorry, but another corvair is easiest. I am not sure but I think that anything else will require engine and transmission. I am no expert in any thing, just my thoughts.

Lloyd is correct. The Corvair is reverse rotation, so keeping the PG you need to stay with Corvair power. If you want to swap to VW (not sure why you would want to do that) you would have to swap engine and transylvania into whatever chassis you have. People used to mate a Corvair to a VW transale by buying a reverse rotation cam and starter for the Corvair... making it turn correctly for the VW transaxle.

Well...... Thanks for the information

The bad part is the motor is seized

Not sure where you are located but used corvair motors aren't totally unavailable.

tis true, they are out there. And I believe there might be a club or two in your regional area for resources.
