Did not fall off the face of the earth....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Did not get to a place to try and fire the engine yet. Ran into two issues I am working on solving.
-Engine mount. where it looks really nice, I built it just a hair to tight to get around the engine mount bar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Working on fixing that.
- Altenator mount. since I went with a electric fan the mount that does not require the 90 degree bend in the belt. That mount pushes it into the fire wall. Working on modifing this to be in the 911 position.

Metal work is not my strongest skill so struggling a bit with these.

Hopefully with in a week I can get it fired up.

Thanks for the update. I've been curious as can be about how it's going. I'm really on the fence about a 1911 or Corvair rebuild. I'm all Hypnotoad with attention.

Its heart stated beating 12:53 pm central time on 12/15/12. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Been a while since I posted on this thread as I have ram into some issues that caused me to remove the engine from the car. The engine mount interfered with the shift rod. I also had the wrong ring gear on the flwwheel, 127 instead of the 130 that the Porsche starter needs. Knew I needed 130 and was sure I counted them. When I pulled it apart it had marks every 10 teeth. Must have came to that conclusion when counting them and took the short cut and multiplied the marks by 10. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Turns out it only had 9 teeth between 40 and 50, 80 and 90, 120 and 130.

I am getting really good at installing this engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Started it and held it at 2300 RPM's for about 25 minutes to break in the cam/valve train. Ran smooth and tach was steady. Needs to be timed still and I need to find the air leak as the lowest I could get the RPM's was 1900. Idle stop screw is not touching the arm and the idle mixture screw is at 1 1/2 turns that the manual calls for, so I am thinking a air leak that is leaning it out.

Also need to locate the correct senders for the oil temp gauge and oil pressurw gauge. Oil temp climbed quickly and pegged but my external oil cooler fan did not turn on. It has a 170 degree thremo switch on it. Oil pan was hot and you could olny leave your hand on it for about 5 seconds before it became uncomfortable. External oil cooler was cooler then the oil pan. Oil pressure gauge goes to zero with the ignition on and dummy ligjht comes on. when started the dummy light turns off but the gauge stays at zero. I can feel oil running though the external cooler lines so I know there is pressure there.

The thermostatically controlled electronic cooling fan I put on to get rid of the 90 degree belt, is impressive. To quote my friend who was helping me "It feels like a low pressure system was generated". You feel a noticeable breeze coming from under the car and if by the engine compartment you feel the air rush past you. I am going to have to put a safety switch on it so it shuts off when the engine lid is opened.

It is progressing, all though slower then I had hoped. I had been warned taking on something that is not done very often would have its challenges.

Engine is in and initial break in is done. The other break in steps will need to wait for the snow and salt are off the Minnesota roads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Hopefully the rest is done by that time.

Current status is engine mount is out for redesign due to it interfering with the shift rod. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I believe it is the third time. Hoping to get that back in this weekend along with the axles, shift linkage and the CV joints safety wired.

Then it will be fitting the Turbo which is going to be a challenge as it is going to be really tight in its stock location. Then designing the engine surround tin.

It has been a fun and at times frustrating project. If you decide to do the Corvair I would go with the 140 hp and build it up. Turbo adds all kinds of complexity. although I am hoping it will be worth it in the end.

Car can move under its own power now! Have not tested it fully yet as it keeps snowing here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Engine tin and exhaust are next.
