The Motor - This is a Corvair s/n T0I07RG w/3878569 cylinder heads. The engine is equipped with a 64" Warp Drive prop (protractor and instructions included). The following (N = new) (U = used) parts or services were put into this motor: - reground crankshaft - (U) 0-200 Marvel-Schebler Carburetor - (N) pistons .030 over - (N) ring set - (N) rod bearings - (N) main bearings - (N) OT-10 cam - (N) intake & exhaust valves - (N) rocker arms - (U) Suburu starter - (U) 12-plate oil cooler - rebuilt harmonic balancer - rebuilt Delco alternator Also included: Oil separator, fuel tank, new (2016) battery, Mallory automatic coil selector. William Wynne parts include: - E/P (electronic/points) remanufactured distributor - Front Alternator Pulley - Safety Shaft - Gold oil pan w/installation kit - prop hub - ring gear - hybrid studs The Mobile Test Stand/Dynamometer - The test stand/dynamometer is a road-worthy homebuilt trailer of steel tube construction, leaf spring suspension, 4.80x8 tires with 5-bolt rims, 2" lockable hitch with safety chains, and all required lighting (stop, signal, and marker lights) for an active Connecticut trailer registration with a VIN number assigned by the state. The dynamometer has the Corvair engine mounted on a engine mount attached to a pivoting carrier with a torque arm attached to a hydraulic cylinder which can measure pressure applied to the torque arm by the engine which can be converted to horsepower. Pictures are available - it's an ingenious system that works. Instrumentation on the test stand includes: - hydraulic pressure gauge for measuring engine force - Stewart-Warner tachometer with non-contact capacitance sensor - oil temperature - oil pressure - fuel pressure - cylinder head temperature with (1) sparkplug-type sensor - exhaust gas temperature - manifold pressure gauge Test stand controls: - ignition switch - throttle with vernier adjustment - mixture - primer (spare primer included) THIS MOTOR IS NOT SUITABLE FOR FLIGHT AS IT SITS. The unit requires a complete teardown and inspection before trusting your life behind it. In addition I STRONGLY suggest the installation of a 5th bearing. Asking price is $7000 for both the engine and the test stand - I will not separate the two. Pictures are available on request. I can deliver within 100 miles of Hartford CT at no charge - longer distances can be negotiated or I can deliver to your shipping company.
