| Subject: | Re: Corvair engines in Texas |
I contacted the seller about this engine and asked him to send the serial number.
The serial number ended with "YR".
If you look that up in Underground Corvair's book, the engine is identified as
a 145 CI turbo charged engine that was hooked up to a 4 speed transmission (1960
- 62).
I'm not an authority, but William Wynne lists the 145 as not suitable for an aero-conversion.
I decided not to pursue it based on that. I told the seller why and he responded
that GM never manufactured a 145 CI motor.
Anyway $500 seems like a lot; maybe it runs though already.

Yes..do not purchase this model number as the cylinder and compression rati
o are not sufficient.

I have two Corvair engines that are complete and in very good shape. They n
eed to be rebuilt and fit within the numbers as defined by William Wynne. I
am asking $300.00 each and they are dis-assembled ready to ship. Each of t
hese engines-can be made into aircraft engines. I would like to sell both
of them to the same buyer. If interested please contact me via email.

Fair to say!
However I'm doing some engine stuff first -- I'm putting off starting the airframe
for the moment for various reasons, some of which have to do with working
space considerations.

[quote="dave(at)algoa.net"]I contacted CORSA here in Houston about 3 weeks ago
looking for my core and they had no leads for me... not even a lead on a salvage
yard known for having Corsairs... do let me know if you find a 3'rd core here
in Texas. I am certainly 'hot to trot'

Dave, I got a response for a potential engine/engines from a guy in Seguin. I can
email you the contact info offline?
