Re: hello i'm a new member my name is tommy

Nice lookin car, I would get a 2nd opinion on the condition of the engine prior to finding a replacement. Unless it is stuck? Engines can be had, just a matter as to what HP you are wanting & how much you are willing to spend to get it.

Re: Apittslife's '66 Corsa Turbo

Thank you!
Intended on replacing them, as the original seat backs do not have the right back support, as I am 6 ft. tall. So These were a great deal. But we both won on this.

Re: Our First Corvair

Well, you will have to Find a Turbo engine if you wish to replace the one that is missing. Putting the turbo parts on a NON-Turbo engine, would most likely be a bad Idea. But you can certainly just go with a 110 or 140 engine. I am new to corvairs as well, I have a 66 corsa turbo, & plan to put ...
