Re: Another Newbie
You should be able to get 100% of parts you need although some parts are available only used . The largest vender is Clarks Corvair . https://ssl.corvair.com/user-cgi/main
For good used parts , best bet is probably Corvair Ranch
https://corvairranch.com/
Where are you located ? There may be a Corvair club near you that can give you more localized info on parts

Re: Another Newbie
If that's an old "short stroke" 302 it is a good fit for a Crown conversion. The later 302 (or was it a 307?) was a small bore long stroke engine that made more torque at lower RPM - not a good a fit as lots of torque at low RPM exceeds the Corvair transaxle capability.
You'll want to contact the V8 Corvair folks at https://www.v8registry.com/
A fellow in our club has a Crown V8 car. He's had it for a long time and destroyed numerous transaxles. He has learned a lot from others about making the car reliable. I hope you have $$$$ to spend. If so you'll have a rewarding and fun vehicle. A Crown V8 is NOT car to restore if you have a limited budget. Just my opinion.
