BenBen When taking springs off or putting them on use a 8-10 inch loop of string. I use builders string. slip over end and pull and remove string or install spring. give it a try been doing it for 40+ years

folding rear seat Rare option for 64? it is on my 69. very nice

BenBen nice upgrade, I have a question do you overheat without the lower shrouds to turn the cooling air across the cylinders

Where did you get the o-rings from for the fuel lines

Im a little confused. Did you say three speed or four? Also the gasket leak under the oil filler tube, ( i dont know what its called) but that thing is warped? I had a leak there and put one of the blue ones from cal corvair, cheap, and it works good. Also that doner WAS a 63. Keep us updated

Cool to hear from you. Ben Ben Ben. Ok, run the Napa pump also. They last a long time. You need to get the by pass block for the fuel pump. You can get it from Cal Corvairs. Then all is good. I'm concerned about the bottom. Wheel bearings suck when they go out. Make sure you know what's going on there. The knocking can't be good. I have a diff sitting that was good but I got a rebuilt one from the Corvair Ranch. I just wanted a higher ratio. the water thing sucks. Water is comming in on the drivers side floor and I can't figure it out. Hope you figure stuff out. Your plans sound awesome. Can't wait.

Just rewatched as you explain so well. I’m curious but why does your blue accelerator pump cup look like it’s installed upside down?

Anti seize should be of dis similar metals or copper for steel plug on aluminum head. next time

I’ve got a 1960 coupe 700 Monza. Your videos have already helped me tremendously! Thanks! Can’t wait to see more!

Auto Anatomy has a thing about fuel injection for Corvair

Also use Clark’s Corvair they have so much.

You want the spyder dash and you also want the turbocharger

Ow

Take a look at California Corvairs for pictures of the auto and standard cross members

Hey, if your changing your car to a 4 speed, you need the rear cross member. The standard transmission cross member has a cut out because its longer

Cool man, did you ever look into that short shifter I mentioned in your last video? How long have you been driving around with the new trans?

That car is cleaner - less rust - than my 65, what a shame.

Sad that so many Corvairs are left to rot in the weeds. You should come the Lone Star Corvair Club meeting Oct the 12th in Round Rock.

So difficult to watch that Corvair get man-handled. Get it to Jeff at Corvair Ranch so the rest of it helps someone.

My first car was a 64 Corvair, so I love watching your videos. But seeing that that forklift manhandle the donor was painful -- like watching Grandpa fall down a flight of stairs and break his leg! Looking forward to you getting the new transmission in.

That rear glass is $700 new nowadays. Stainless trim...price is no object LOL. Did you remember the pedals and mounts for them?

Flipping it over was a waste of good body panels. Also, you should have grabbed that '64 rear leaf spring, they're worth good money to EM guys.

The one you flipped is a '60 or '61. Nowhere near a '64.

Flipping it over, not cool

Didn't you overhaul the power glide for your Corvair or an I thinking of some one else? I kind of wish my '65 Monza convertible had a manual.

Let me know if you still want a 4 speed transmission.

What’s the latest with the 3 speed swap?

Nice move bowels .Should have bought the other trumpet set of duals. These soda straw peashooters aren't going to turn any heads that's for sure. Suck up your mistake sell 'em and buy the correct set.

Is that an Eelco/Cal Custom gas pedal ?? Love it !! Do you have the volume knob for the radio ?

I have the rtobone style pipes sitting in my basement for the last 5 years. everyone I've talked to says they are way too loud and really drone. Was thinking about cutting the trombone tips welding harley mufflers which I have sitting i my father's garage . Reading the comments, I suspect the lower shrouds can be reinstalled after adding these?

Ha! "My back hurts." Corvairs are fun to work on, but bending over to their low engine placement does come at a price. 🤣

4:50 shows you not only took spark plugs out but the pushrod tubes too. I bet you were fighting the pushrod tubes the most as they are pressed in. I am in the middle of doing this to diagnose my low compression on 2 cylinders on the drivers side.

I've done many projects solo, and it can get frustrating with repeated steps, misplaced tools, improvising, etc. I can imagine that trying to film and narrate the work would be difficult. Thanks for the video, and I hope you enjoy that Corvair!

Maybe next Corvair you can get a stickshift and convert it to a five speed so you have low rpm’s at highway speeds.

I recommend Clark’s disc brakes because upon repeated stops less brake fade.

On drums I think you have brake shoes right?

If you need a 4 speed transmission I can hook you up, I know a guy who has tons of them laying around in a pos greenbrier.

The other thing you can do is put the Mustang 2 front suspension and steering package on it so it could handle a little better.

See if you can get the ralleey spyder round gauges instead the plain old gauges.

Try "aviation form a gasket" let it sit on gasket surfaces for a couple of hours, gently tighten down, good as done. Works great on warped/uneven surfaces,turns paper-cork gaskets into a silicone-like surface. Aviation Form A Gasket never sets up fully, which makes it great for collant and oil mating surfaces; one important criteria have a good layer gasket surface while setting up, and do not overtighten area you want to be leak free

boy, that's sweet n sour, not ketchup haha lol

Old timer Chevy tech here with lots of Corvair experience, Nice work on dropping the entire powertrain. That is the proper way and great job on the trans rebuild! Did you replace the torque converter?

Im considering doing this to mine.its been over a year.are you still pleased? Was it worth the money? A lil over 600 now with shipping

Cars looking good! Glad you have happy plans for her! Remember that the 3 speeds aren't synchronized, so you have to come to a complete stop, to put in 1st gear! Look forward to seeing more updates!

I need to get Clark’s alternator kit, comes with everything including the oil filter mount for an alternator.

Don’t do the suspension drop please. Keep it stock, imo

My landlord just gave me a 64 two door. I can’t figure out how to get into the engine compartment, 😁😁😁😁😁

I had a 3 speed trans in my 62 corvair. That was the only thing I didn't like. After I sold it the new owner came to me with a 4 speed trans/axle assy to have installed. I did it and that made that car perfect. With the 3 speed there was way too much rpm drop. Shifting to 2nd made it rev too high, like when passing another car. Just my real world opinion.

Well done, Ben. Just watched your video and I agree, the new mufflers sound great.

welcome back bud, looking foward to the new engine install
