:clap: Pretty exotic looking wheel and tire combination! Really stands out on that dark blue EM convertible. What is the wheel brand and specs and tires sizes you are running?

Thanks all,

I have several Uncles that are machinists by trade. They tend to build large custom valves, flanges and other parts for chemical plants and refineries. The metals they use tend to be pretty unique and high grade because of the low reactivity (titanium, etc) I'm thinking about seeing if ...

Marty,

Where do I find what model turbo (A, B, C, D, E, F) went with what car? I like this idea of the hybrid turbo with the modifications you mention. Does EFI work with this mod? I don't know yet what heads are in this car (pulling the engine tonight hopefully) , but using the 140 heads is the ...

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

Looks like the easiest way to do this would be to swap the entire rear end (left and right side suspension, and transmission) from a 65-69? What are the hiccups in doing that?

What is another way to improve the 64 suspension?

Will the late model independent suspension work in a 64?

That aqua color was the original color of my Spyder. I appreciate all the information. I haven't sat down to budget this project, but I expect to spend between 15-20k on it.

I think I am liking the idea of EFI on this car. I've seen some systems for around 3k. I would also like to upgrade the top ...

The goal is speed and performance in a street car ...

Here are those photos as promised.

1) the best way to make use of an original turbo with a better carb
2) Weber carb with a modern turbocharger
3) EFI system

joelsplace:

What kind of EFI system have you seen work well with the Spyder?

I thank you for the Spyder specific information. I will definitely keep that tucked away and look over that as I go along.

My experience with working on cars is limited to standard maintenance type things-brakes, exhaust, interior, etc. I do have some technical training, as I was electronics ...

HI All,

I am new to Corvairs. My son and I have just purchased a '64 Monza Spyder to restore and modify together. I'm looking forward to working on this project and learning from everyone.
