Re: ENTER- Corvair of the Month June 2014
Here is my corvair. I drive this car to my college classes any time I can. The car is a driver and if it breaks I fix it.
hope you like the modern hot-rod look I did to attract new interest to the corvairs.
I started the rebuild with the engine-
heads are 140 that I port and polished with a DA and lots of time getting the burs and such in the intake.
block has been cleaned and oil passages are all cleaned free flowing for good oil return
installed a high volume oil pump from clarks and otto oil pan.
bore- .030mm
cam- Otto's TB-30
I then started on the fuel system
decided to install a fuel injection system from Accel- Accel's Gen 7 Digital engine management set-up
I opted for a throttle body fuel injection set-up to get the engine running.
wideband O2 sensor
accel 6A DFi electronic ignition box
the front end is custom 2 inch drop spindles with disk brakes.
paint is a flat PPG that is mixed to be a satin gloss which brings out the colors and the purls.
my dad brother and I are the mechanics and craftsmen and painters behind this corvair.

Skrain, better luck this time. I like your '64. I traded a '64 for the '66.

Congratulations to Fast Eddie for his solid win asCorvair of the Month for June 2014!
Fifty years waiting for the big one...Fast Eddie wrote:I bought my first Corvair, a '64 Monza coupe in 1964 when I was 22.
Traded it in 1966 for the Corvair I own today.
That's 50 years in Corvairs and still counting!
I'm 72 and wondering where the time went.
and now it is here!

Well I guess the third times a charm. Thanks to everyone who voted for my car, and thanks to those who voted period.
I wish I could tell you how nice it feels to be recognized by your peers. I'm truly grateful. Now I can sit back and relax and watch the guys battle it out for COM for July!
