80 hp to 110 hp Engine swap parts?

I was thinking about swapping the 110 engine out of my 64 monza parts car into my 63 700. The monza was sitting next to the ocean for 10 years so the engine is covered in surface rust and corrosion.

63 runs good, but reverse is fried.

Today i took my 63 out for the first time since it got the carbs rebuilt. It runs pretty good but the 4 speed wont shift into reverse, like it can't find it. It keeps putting me into first. Its just a big mushy mess. The joys of a Corvair!

Re: my 63 700 project

This poor 64 was 50 bucks, and 6 months ago when i first spotted it wasn't half as bad as it is now. It does have an alt conversion. Poor thing sat a block from the ocean for 10 years. yucky corvair3.JPG 165390_1846776935177_1413292005_2112651_6965230_n[1].jpg 167851_1846778135207_1413292005_2112656...
