Corvair Forum

I will bbe an active member of a club in this area. There are more and more corvairs coming out every year

Well sounds like a fun weekend close to home. This event is on our calendar. and hope to bring a few corvairs from south Dakota to your event.

Thanks for the work in planning this event

Depending on the kit . First thing I would do to a 65 is buy the dual master cylinder kit. Which makes front and rear braking independent and the corvair much more responsive on manual brak ing power.

Then when u have the kit. Front disks are the only upgrade you will need on a street corvair.

I took out the Y split under the dash that directs the air to the windshield. Built a bracket that bolts up under the vents there and left the middle area open for heat run. Great sound and hiding place. I have not had the chance to drive the car with the need for a defrost. But there is an option

Yes guys got to run the kit on my car all summer. Did. Not have any issues with the kit other than my stock springs are to weak I have plan on making a adjustable insert for the factory springs which will prevent a coil from being able to compress which should help me with my issue of rubbing the fr...

Did this to my LM. Check out this topic and there is pictures of stock top ball joint with spindle machined at top ball joint to fit corvair. The lower I found it easier to install the factory ball joint for the spindle Ur using and modify the corvair a arm to take that http://www.corvairforum.com/f...

Yes they can make the engine sound throatty and been asked if it was v-8 swap.

Trick is tho that any glass pack or cherry bomb makes the engine sound like a pissed bumble bee . I think the muffler I have is a turbo back

here is some photos of the custom work that was complete in the car.

Welded the bumpers to the boy on the car to include all the body lines.

thanks for the votes

Here is my corvair. I drive this car to my college classes any time I can. The car is a driver and if it breaks I fix it. hope you like the modern hot-rod look I did to attract new interest to the corvairs. I started the rebuild with the engine- heads are 140 that I port and polished with a DA and l...

I have read and read and more reading with the electric fans. brad is correct. the understanding is that the corvair fan pulls air then flings it across the engine in a cyclone motion where a electric fan conversion only pulls air then forces in a downward direction. the way a conversion from stock ...

well I have a 140 hp engine with fuel injection and lots of engine mods that make my LM fun to drive. 4 speed and 3.27 rear end with tall rear tires to make interstate speeds comfortable and great fuel economy.. the car is great to drive as it has power to accelerate once rolling but to go from a st...

thanks Michael. I was lost for a while with this project as I couldn't work around the ball join depth difference and was trying to find the info that you gave me about the tappers being the same. then everything was easier. but the lower a-arm was a little challenging and I sure we still have a lon...

The ball joint from Monte Carlo is much bigger. I used a hole saw and drill press then welded in a nee pipe for press fitting the new ball joint in.

here are a few pictures of the spindles and the clearance issues I ha to overcome. the clearance gets better as the suspension has weigh on the car. the photo was taken with no load. the other picture is the size of the lower ball joint that needed to be installed. there was no issue with this insta...

here is the car with the drop kit added and the disk brakes installed. I still have to get the suspension broke in for a few miles before I get the car aligned but I did take some measurements before and after the kit was installed. stock measurements for width on center tread was 57 1/4 new width i...

car before the suspension change.
