| Quote: | I'm finding 1964 engines out there. I'm having zero
luck finding anything newer within a days driving distance.
Should I go with a 1964, or wait and keep looking for the less common
1965-69...?
Hello, Patrick,
|
The advice to get William Wynn's Book on aircraft conversion of
Corvair engines is excellent. I agree.
That said, based on my limited knowledge of Corvair engines (I'm
also a 'Vair owner and CORSA member), if the 64 has the right crank and
heads, it should be identical to the 65-69 engines for your purposes.
All 64s were 164ci displacement, same as all built after that. Most of
the external stuff that's different between the 64 and Late Model 'Vair
engines, you won't use in an aircraft conversion anyway.

I would go with the 64. If I had a 65 or newer next to a 64, I would
pick the one I thought to be in the best condition. I would however,
pull the top cover to verify the crank number on a 64. I believe there
was an early 60's model that had the same letters as a 64, but a much
different crank.
