:tu: :wave: :welcome2: Welcome to the Corvair Forum!

The link below will provide you with a list of useful websites that are Corvair-related. Some of the links will lead you to an extensive technical library that will allow you to download shop manuals and other technical references in Adobe Reader format at no cost. There is also a link that will help you to locate nearby CORSA (Corvair Society of America) club chapters. While the Corvair Forum can be very helpful as you work on your Corvair, having local friends and contacts in your region who are knowledgeable about the Corvair can also be very helpful. These family-friendly CORSA chapters often offer picnics, group scenic drives, technical training and assistance, car shows, and competition events that can greatly enhance your enjoyment of Corvair ownership. You will also find a list of essential Corvair parts suppliers. Clark's Corvair Parts is the biggest and oldest Corvair supplier in the world. You will find a link that can provide you with a series of videos that amount to a tour of the Clark's Corvair Parts facilities. I think you will be amazed at the quality of the reproduction components they offer — particularly the interior carpeting and re-upholstery items. Parts suppliers such as this truly make our Corvair hobby possible.

:dontknow: I would like to encourage you to expand on your initial post and tell us more about yourself, your Corvair (if you currently own one), and your goals for the Corvair. If you can describe your personal assessment of your mechanical skills and abilities, that would help a lot. Members of the Corvair Forum love to be helpful in assisting other Corvair owners with technical support and advice, but it helps a lot if we have some understanding of your technical background and mechanical abilities, Corvair-related knowledge, etc. Helping us to know more about you will help us to write comments to you that are tailored to your needs and experience. Knowing your location is also useful, because knowing where you live can sometimes suggest possibilities.

Norman! We are looking for a rebuilt engine for 1965 Corvair Monza Coupe. Where would be the best place to start looking?

Could you spend a little time to write about your Corvair, describe its overall condition, where it came from, how long you have owned it, how long it has been sitting without running, how it has been stored, etc? We also need to know about you and your capabilities, skills, knowledge, etc. as a DIY mechanic. Detailed pictures would be helpful. This Internet-based Corvair Forum leaves us blind unless you tell us more about your situation and needs.

What is it about your engine that makes you feel that it needs to be replaced? Is there an existing engine? Powerglide automatic or manual transmission? Has a careful, detailed assessment of your existing engine been made?

Members of this Forum are knowledgeable and can be helpful, but you have to "paint a complete picture" so we can offer complete, informed suggestions that are a good fit for your needs and circumstances. :dontknow:

We have never owned a Corvair. The body us in good condition. Both the '64 Sedan and '65 Coupe have been stored in a shop since 1996. We are currently working on the brakes. Next project is the gas tank. Concerning the engine in the 65 Coupe, oil was on the floor under it.
So we are not sure if the engine is working or not. We trailered both without trying to start either of them. Both vehicles are manual shift. Looking forward to comments and being a part of the Corvair family.

Getting involved with the central Oklahoma Corvair association will gain you so much knowledge and help along the way. I invite you to find us on Facebook. We have a very successful chapter here and always ready to help with getting our cars on the road. Feel free to reach out if you would like more information on meeting locations and times.
