The time has finally come to reveal the new engine we've been working on for the FLOODED 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 110. On the last video, we took apart the old engine, mic'd everything and found out how much was really damaged. In this video, we make some modifications to the engine block, to the oiling system and install a (nearly) completely new rotating assembly, heads, pistons, jugs, and camshaft. Topping off the mods is an ULTIMATE exhaust from Clark's Corvair.

IT"S FINALLY DONE!!! Thank you all for your support and guidance as we put this classic back on the road. Hopefully this will be the LAST time we pull the engine out of the car. What should we do next? Let me know below:

@silverfin198 Год назад

Individual throttle bodies with fuel injection 👀

@melissadunagan6596 Год назад

Restore the interior

@AutoAnatomy Год назад

That would be awesome. I did see someone used Polaris throttle bodies and a megasquirt computer to make their own FI system. Perhaps if I found some throttle bodies I might see about making that work.

@AutoAnatomy Год назад

As for the interior, I will definitely be doing the headliner and a few little things. Not sure how far it's going to go.

@tumblelake63 Год назад

Chase the rust. New rubber trim.

Some advice to the viewers: Upon measuring piston ring end gap, do exactly as he shows here EXCEPT do the added step of pairing up the three rings with its prospective cylinder jug. So, set each jug aside and assign the three piston rings to each one. THEN insert each ring into its prospective jug as he shows here and measure and correct them (if necessary) one at a time. Do not measure all your ring in ONE cylinder jug. If you’ve done that then you’ve set all your gaps to that one jug. Even the best of machine shops don’t get every jug exactly the same. There are slight differences in machining from jug to jug. Now, to be pedantic, yes, the jugs are most likely so close in tolerances that this won’t matter. Especially with the higher end parts. But if you’re going to go through THIS much effort to build your engine right, which you should, then actually go through ALL the steps to build your engine to its highest standard.

@AutoAnatomy Год назад

Good point, and I'm always learning. Thanks for the help!

Sean, the last time I watched this video, I forgot tell you about my experience with my '65 Chevy Super Sport. The engine always ran on the hot side. During one time, I wanted to add drain valves to the lower part of the engine block for better flushing of the cooling system. Well as I removed the plugs from the engine, no coolant drained out, only casting sand started to fall. The lower portion of the black still had sand in it. No wonder the engine ran hot! It was one on many problems I had with this car!

@tonypoindexter4272 Год назад

MY BROTHER HAD 140 HP MODEL WITH CAM AND HEADS. TOOK THE 4 CARBS OFF PUT A INTAKE ON SO WE CAN PUT SINGLE HOLLEY ON IT. IT RAN GREAT. THAT WAS IN EARLY 70'S.

@jimc6403 Год назад

Hint on packing the oil pump gears don’t use a heavy grease that might plug an oil gallery. After discussion with an experience Corvair engine builder he suggested Vasoline petroleum jelly. Packed it well for that initial startup and the jelly mixes easily with oil. The Clarks Full Fin Cylinders advantage other than more fin cooking surface is that the wall thickness is thicker so even with a optional 60 overbore it is still thicker than a stock non bored cylinder. Also the full fin bites quality control fir concentricity (hole is centered consistently) Deflashing the heads is a good way of reducing heat in Corvair motor as well as making sure your oil cooler’s fins are nice and clean and you can see light thru the fins. Enjoy the channel.

Good tip!

@garysilver718 Год назад

Alls I have left is fond memories of my 64 convertible Corvair.

@robertdavis6708 Год назад

I always loved the Corvairs . I bought a used 1963 Monza convertible for my girlfriend, now my wife, in the early 70's. And as always, a delaminated flywheel caused the vibrations. We had a shop up the road who specialized in Corvairs. He replaced the flywheel (used), cleaned both carbs, for $100.00. My how times fly. My wife and myself still love the early air cooled cars. I can remember cabin heat in less than 4 minutes which was a plus. Those that still own an old Corvair are very fortunate. Enjoy.

@ericfredrickson5517 Год назад

I had a '63 Monza that was my stay-out-of-trouble high school project; it kept my two best friends and myself out of trouble throughout our high school years. I think I had the same headers that you have, from Clark's. I wish they offered the template kit back then ('79), and I wish I had gone for the hotter camshaft. I finished it in time for my last day in HS, but ended up parking it the next fall, when the inside of the windshield glazed over with oil from a mysterious engine leak. This brings back memories. Thanks.

@ronaldbollinger950 Год назад

I put a 95 hp Corvair engine in a 1961 VW TRUCK, got my parts from JC Whitney at the time. Had to reverse ring gear on VW. Lower sheet metal very important to keep engine from overheating at slow speeds.

@jimpottorff3536 7 месяцев назад

Great job. I rebuilt a 140 Hp version back in 1973, used performance parts, added a four barrel Holley which was specs for this engine. Great performance and longevity was great. Your video has my juices running. I am now looking for a Corvair. Thanks for your efforts.

@AutoAnatomy 7 месяцев назад

@charlesgraham9954 Год назад

my dad's friend back in the late 60s put a 283 in the front of a Corvair. u could see the driveshaft between the seats, hooped of course. i wasn't born yet, but i seen photos of it, dad said it was geared so low, it would be screaming at 85 90 miles an hour.. lol, anyways thanks for the memories, and your video.

@machtschnell7452 Год назад

I had a close family friend with a 1965 Corsa 180HP (SAR net at the crank). First turbo car I ever drove and it was a real blast, especially when the turbo kicked in. Great handling too as long as it was not pushed.

@AutoAnatomy Год назад

@garydesgres1382 Год назад

I was taught and have practiced a different brake in procedure. if you get on it hard and then let off, preferably d0wn hill, you create pressure then vacuum in the cylinders. This helps set the rings by forcing tem againts the walls and then lubricating them.

@AutoAnatomy Год назад

Never heard of that procedure, but if it works for you then awesome!

NICE JOB My Corvair was a 1963 Monza back in 1965 with a 95 hp engine and I drove it while in the USAF In Bolixe Ms . had to add 1/4 x 20 hex head bolts to valve covers and drill the middle hole out to keep them from leaking on me. added a gates green leaf fan belt with steel core and kept the fan running all the time with no failures in the years I drove it. It was a great car. mine was white with red interior.

@xcalibre222 Год назад

I always liked the Corvairs, especially the Corvair Monza Spider made in early 60's. My sister bought a new Corvair back in early 60's after a couple years it started leaking engine oil. Leaked as bad as the early Harley's, LOL. She really loved that car though despite it's problems.

@Mopar-Pioneer Год назад

Thank you sir for rebirthing a corvair as a Corvair. I am a MOPAR man to the depths of my black little soul, but I have always had a soft spot for Vairs ! There are too many of them out there with small block GM's in them. Destroys the whole idea of the car ( ok, so I am biased😁) I might be a little softer if it was converted to a 6 banger Porsche or if you really have to, a 340 small block ! Keep up the good work sir . A Corvair restored as a Corvair !

@daveedson8607 Год назад

I had a room mate in college that owned a 64 Corvair with a 110. He would drop the engine and trans after dinner, change the gearing, and put it back in to drive it the next morning. He competed in gymkana's, and did very well against the Datsun 240Z which was the cool car of the day. I could not believe how well it handled, he would smoke the other cars in the handling and hold his own in the 1/8 mile. I've been a Corvair lover ever since, never owned one though. At almost 72, I probably won't.

@ahoo5753 Год назад

Dad loves it. It has officially passed inspection. What a great teammate

@BWGPEI Год назад

You do bring back memories. As a much younger guy I used to drag-race my Volvo 122S against my buddy who had a Monxa. I'd have two car lengths at the start, and he had have almost the same at the quarter marker. Once the turbo spooled up it was bye, bye. Funny that he never had any handling issues - it was a '57 Chevy that got him in trouble.

@AutoAnatomy Год назад

Glad you enjoyed!

@joeowen1068 Год назад

Great job! One tip - don't baby that new engine. We always would take a newly-ringed engine and put some higher pressures ontop of the piston rings to help seat them against the sidewalls of the cylinders. Don't know if you used chrome-moly rings but they will take a set if you don't "run them in" by taking several full-throttle runs up to redline (5200 rpm) after getting the engine up to temperature of course. By loading up those new rings, you will make a better seal between them and the cylinder walls. Do try to lug it a little bit - not to the point of detonation. I had a dual-point Mallory distributor in my Corvair 110 with the headers and had the initial timing set to nearly 24 degrees btdc as I recall - no pinging! The thing was an Auto-cross winner every time!!

@jimzellmer4586 Год назад

Did a similar build in my 66 corvair 50 years ago. 140 horse, crower cam, crown headers all the stuff. it was fast and loud. The cam lost a little on the bottom end, but pulled hard to 7K rpm. Hit 6500 in 4th gear several times. thanks for the memories.

If you use a carbide burr instead of a sanding roll you don't get any sandpaper grit to also clean up. Some of those surfaces retain the grit which comes out of the metal when heated.

@dougbrown9861 Год назад

Those Corvairs were awesome little sports car. I learned how to drive a stick shift in a 64 Monza Convertible. Even stock, those were amazing little sleepers when the roads got curvy. Mt. Paran Rd. to Paces Ferry to Ridgewood Rd. to the West Wesley loop back in the last 60's was a blast. And I learned how to drift on dead man's curve on West Paces Ferry.

Sean, this Corvair sounds great !!!!! I used to have the 1965 Ralph Nader book "Unsafe at any speed", but I tossed it years ago. My father had the book originally. I remember back then, seeing PLENTY of people driving VW bugs that had been rolled over, yet nobody wrote books about them. There is a guy, maybe a few blocks from where I live that has a Corvair, and he drives it occasionally in the good weather. You don't see Corvairs anymore, so when I do, I grin and wave if the owner sees. You have the patience of a saint to keep going into the engine and keeping on top of the issues, not to mention those tiny timing marks? But I understand, you want it 1000% right before you sell it. Original front shocks? Goodness.... Be well. Take care, Howie

One thing I do when I start brand new engines if you can feel the carburetors up through the vent tube on top of the carburetors and the all-points ignition system or electronic set your timing Mark toward needs to be then set your distributor where the points just start to open or the timing triggers on the distributor line up and your rotors at top dead center. You'll be within to 2 to4 degrees simple as that your learner's easy when you've worked on German engines especially the vw's. And fresh gas in the gas tank even if you have to remove the tank and clean it out.

Thanks Mark! I believe that anything that can be done to keep an air cooled engine from running hot will only pay dividends in the future. Same with oiling, cooler oil=happier engine. The oil cooler sounds like a great mod and I can definitely see that being beneficial for a race car or in a HOT climate.

Thank you Jim, it was so nice to have Dad here for his birthday and get a little chance to work with him. I'll always treasure these memories. Christie can drive it whenever she wants, and I think she's only ridden in it once! We gotta change that soon!

Thank you for the tutorial. You explained everything well. I've had two Corvairs and am ready to build a hot rod corsair with triple weber h beam rods , deep staked valve seats ect and let her rip up the tires.maybe a sniff of nos.

Thank you! I’d love to build a really hot engine as well, maybe fuel injection and turbo

Yea I think your car is running really nice job for sure.

Thank you, it's even better now with fuel injection!

Awesome job. I enjoyed watching the precision with which you assembled the motor. My wife says I'm a little OCD and that she imagines this is exactly how I would do assembly. Gotta say though, even though the exhaust is a little loud, it brings back good memories. My first car in high school was a '67 Corvair 500 with the 95 horse engine. The exhaust was rusty and starting to fall apart , and I figured while replacing it was the perfect time to upgrade to dual exhaust. I checked with Clark's and the cost to go with factory duals was more expensive than their ultimate exhaust. Throw in the fact it came with headers and I was sold. However, since I was still living at home, I made sure to get the internal baffles to try to keep it from being too loud. The end result was perfect to my ears - the baffles cut a little bit of volume out, but it also took away some of the high note and gave just a little more bass rumble to the overall exhaust note. Hearing yours run reminds me of ripping around in mine back in the day. Looking forward to more videos!

I'm also a little OCD, but it helps with my professional career! What a great story, thanks for sharing and for watching the video!

Pretty cool! I have not had to go into the engine yet on my '66 140, but likely will have to dive into the PowerGlide first. That should be some fun...

Ooh, that should be fun. Powerglides are really straight forward, so it shouldn't be too bad.
