Here's the cumulation of my last two months work. The 4.3 V6 and installed in rear of the 1964 Corvair, finally! Now preparing for the first start and flat tappet cam break in. Here are most of the things you will need to do before you fire up that remanufactured/rebuilt engine. Follow along as I bring this reverse rotation Chevy V6 to life. Most of these procedures will apply to any new engine to help it live a long happy life. Please subscribe to follow the build as I recap

We actually considered the Toro drive line but it would have been too intrusive. With what we have done, we could swap back to the flat 6. Don't know why we would though.

I didn't realize that you've reduced the wheelbase, and altered the body from a standard Corvair 4 door. It seems tastefully done, and still attractive. I notice the 5 lug rear. Explain?
@Raycr

The body and chassis are as original, just shaved the door handles off the rear doors. The 5 bolt rear wheels was done for more wheel choices. Thanks for checking out the video!

lucky that it will not leak by the rear seal, usually, there is very subtile difference to accomodate the fact that the engine is reversed rotation.

Hi, was this a marine V6 since I see it turns backwards or did you convert it with a reverse rotation camshaft? Good job anyhow. Wish I could find a diesel that turns backwards for my Ultravan. Ross

@nightfurynova
@nightfurynova 11 месяцев назад
Did you have to reverse the rotation of the engine? What was required to do that?
@Raycr
@Raycr 11 месяцев назад
Yes we did. The simple answer is the cam and timing set are marine parts to reverse rotate the engine. The crank seals are directional as well.

What's the game plan for throttle linkage? The OEM cable and its location will be kinda low. Can you rig a guide tube and a bell crank deal for the stock cable, or perhaps go with hydraulic? The latter isn't cheap but works well.
@Raycr
@Raycr Год назад
We have a linkage and bell crank arrangement made that seem to work well. The original linkage to the throttle valve on the power glide is still in use but it's all fabricated back from that. You can just about see the bell crank ahead of the even side hear (is it still the right head?).The hand throttle was just on for the cam break in process.

Curious how the radiator will get outside air flow.
@Raycr
@Raycr Год назад
Great question. We have opened up the inner fender panel on the right side so it can draw from the wheel well area. The radiator is open to that area all the way down. Will be looking at putting an air dam under the radiator and crossed the transmission area to create a low pressure zone behind to help draw the air.
