See my bus thread for info on the 3.1 conversion. Reversing them is easy, working on them is easy, they are cheap, plentiful, and pretty cool.

BTW, from 66 on the only things they changed to make more HP were the heads and carbs. The 180 is a turbo 140, the 150 is a turbo 110. They are all 164ci. 140 has bigger valves and 4 carbs. 110 has 2 carbs.

all turbo's had small valves, The bigger carb on 65 and later made the 180,
1964 150 are the same as 65 and later ,but have the small carb..

The only thing better about a 66 and later is the beefy Saginaw 4spd.

I grew up with corvairs due to my neighbor's dad having one since brand new (66) that he drove from Chicago to San Jose, California and also my best friend had one in high school. I remember his sister calling him at my house asking why it wont run anymore? He asked her, "what did you do to it"? She says "I filled the radiator to the top because I couldn't see any water in it, I also think you have oil in your radiator". He hung up and said to me "lets go to my sister's cause she just dumped water into the motor". I laughed the whole way there, he was pissed at me! We rebuilt it but it was funny as hell explaining to her that VW's were not the only air-cooled engines.

Okay more pics! I made it home with no problems & took it out for a drive. Had to fill up the tank. It does have a healthy backfire on decel. Not sure if it is the exhaust leak causing it? Actually runs out pretty good & is plenty quick. Not v8 quick of course but definitely can tell a difference over a stock 2.0 type 4. I was a little surprised to see the stock FI fuel pump in the front trunk. There is a regulator in the back by the carbs. Don't know why they didn't just put in an electric pump for carbs. No reasn to have all that pressure going back to the regulator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . It is missing all the tin but the top piece surrounding the fan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . The right rear brake is grinding pretty noticably.

My first project will be switching out the 5-lug suspension off my black 75. The SC front end does have that huge underbody sway bar. Way overkill in my opinion but I'll leave it for now. I'll be putting on my new PMB Calipers I won at WCR this year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . Along with new rear rotors & pads. The fronts are in good shape so no worries there. Not sure if has already been upgraded to a 19mm master cylinder. If not I'll be getting that done too. I'll also replacing the gas pedal. If you see the picture with it there is a nice gate hinge bolted into place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . Another nice PO job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

Jamie, congratulations, you have a 914 with a Corvallis motor.
I hope you didn't spend all of your money, I found a sweet 280 Z with a 350 chev V8 in Walla Walla.
It's on my list under cars for sale.

I love the embossed label tape!

Looks like it needs some TLC and a steam cleaning...

That's pretty sweet, Jamie. Love the vintage Dymo tape labels.

The wheels are really cool. Westerns?

He missed the class on grinding down the welds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Other than the tail shifter, it looks like a fun ride. Why does it have the stock FI pump up front, but carbs installed???

Yeah no clue there. He's got a regulator setup in back. Just seems like alot of pressure to be running back to the regulator. When a cheap electric pump for carbs would do the job. I'll be redoing all the fuel lines too eventually.

Hey Mike where is the temp gage setup usually on the corvair motor? Is there a CHT? Or an oil temp gage the norm? If oil temp gage where is there a stock spot it get's the reading?

Or the fuel pump is from a 911-914-6, pressure just right.
