New Engine in our FLOODED 1965 Corvair! First start and DRIVE!!

[@albertovelazquez3343]

My first car was a1966 Corvair. It was my daily use car to go to college. I loved that cart, and I still miss it today.

[@justinjohnson3174]

The heat in my '67 Monza is plenty hot.

[@evanjordan7734]

Now that's a car I would love to own! I can't wait to find a corvair to start restoring. I definitely appreciate the work you've done to save this old rig.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you so much! They are such unique cars, I hope the videos help on your future car!

[@michaelwelch5392]

I bought a 65 Monza rag top about 4 years ago. I have to sell it because of lack of room, but after watching your rebuild, its a car that you really don't want to see it go.

[@AutoAnatomy]

I wish I had the space to keep every car I love, I'd pretty much keep them all. I would have loved to have kept the 924 Turbo, I have a feeling it will be spiking in value very soon.

[@gme8061]

Great video. Nice save on the Corvair

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks!!

[@garyseven4896]

Drove a 62 in PA for a few years, winter not so fun. We had one of these and a 69 VW van...6 of one etc..My G Grandmother actually won the 62 in a promotion, she drove it for 2 years and it sat for 20 because the fan belt kept popping off. Believe it or not after the 50th time that damn belt popped off, I drove it to a junk yard in perfect shape and sold it to them with 80,000 miles on it for 35 dollars.

[@markcollins457]

I got a valve cover from the salvage yard and cut it in length wise, this is a service too so you can adjust the valves and slow down the oil splash when adjusting valves.

[@fernanddecarvalho3935]

Bonjour, super video. Votre voiture à démarrer au premier coup de clé Impressionnant!!! Je rénove un moteur 110 HP, et vos videos et d'autres me sont très utiles.

[@anthonyhughes8828]

Love this guys vids their very useful, and entertaining to say the least. Highly underrated KZbin channel

[@AutoAnatomy]

Much appreciated!

[@maximilianschimmel1042]

I also have cracks in my steering wheel so im looking forward to seeing how you fix that.

[@Bob-gl6cg]

For heat, check the 4 inch coiled tube hoses at the rear wheels. Also check the thermostats, located inside the rear shrouds under the cylinders.

[@Friedbrain11]

There is rust around the perimeter of the windshield and the windshield needs replaced. Lot of work ahead yet :) It's called Marina Blue for the color.

[@walnutmanor]

Wonderful project. You're doing a great job. The headliner is not that bad if you get on from Clark's. Should do the dash, windshield and headliner the same time. Usually lots of rust in the pinch weld, that can be repaired with the windshield removed.

[@shirleygarrett2578]

Hi Sean, I am Dave, Shirley’s son. I am the one watching this. I love Corvairs and I really enjoy your videos. Your knowledge seems unending and I feel like you are a friend. I bet others watching think that too. Thanks for posting

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you Dave, that's very kind. Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@eldoradony]

Seeing some of the shots in the video showing the shape of the quarters and the body lines of the car makes me want to own one. I hope you go all the way and give that car what it deserves; a full body restoration. GM cars of that era were in my opinion the pinnacle of automotive beauty with the simplicity and flowing lines.

[@AutoAnatomy]

I really hope the next owner takes it across the finish line with new paint. These cars have such a pretty shape.

[@gigfy6010]

Great job with this project, going to miss seeing the Corvair....

[@isaaclavoie]

this is a great series! its hit me just as I;m considering a corvair as a classic car option. So good!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you very much, and Corvairs are a great option for a classic!

[@johnwehner8096]

Enjoyed your video on the Corvair. My first two cars were Corvair back in the 60. Second one was and engine rebuild were the valve seat fell out of head. Great memories. Big error I made was not repacking rear wheel bearing before putting on highway for extended trip.

[@andrewreece3861]

Those graphite exhaust packings are kind of soft compared to the original (asbestos) donuts. When you install new packings, make sure the manifolds ports and head tubes are all clean, and after lining up the manifold and getting it loosely clamped on give the manifold a few raps with a dead blow hammer to seat everything. It’s very normal to need to tighten the bolts up again after getting some heat cycles in them, so if you’re using French locks on the clamp studs, leave them unbent until the second time you tighten them. Nice work on the rebuild. Subscribed.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely take your advice to try to seal them up better

[@servicetechnician3264]

Hello Sean. Thanks for showing us this rebuild. It looked like a fun build for you. George B. in Michigan

[@matthewcalifana488]

Couple of tips for you seal off fresh air tube cylinder 5 , insulate the centertunnel Oh i perfer to adjust all valves first then with engine off preload 1/2 turn Best Wishes .

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@howardkoster4026]

The Corvair moves out!!!! Way to go Sean!!

[@eggertakerlie7320]

Thanks for the video :) nice ride. At 2:48 it looks like the suspension bushings are ready for replacement :)

[@AutoAnatomy]

Yep, definitely need those replaced.

[@arrowblockentertainment7893]

Great video. Glad to see it up and running again. Excited for the next video!

[@HAVOCRISING_]

Man another great video brother, thanks for everything.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!!

[@LBCTITAN]

Good camera action, I don't know how you do it while driving. And nice car, I have two, enjoy it.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks!

[@jimgarofalo5479]

I took notice of the comment you made about the amount of heat you got from the heater. Most likely you need thermostats. That's right! Thermostats. There is a flap on the underside of each side of the engine. If you look inside, you will see a rod that leads to a brass colored device that looks like a bellows. This is a thermostat. They control the air flow through the engine to regulate the engine temperature. When they fail, the flaps fall open and let uncontrolled air flow through the engine resulting in a cooler running engine, and the heat going out the rear of the car instead of through the heater.

[@ericchurchill8037]

You're videos on the corvair has made me want to buy another one. I had to sell my first one before I even got it running so hopefully I'll have better luck the second time.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!!

[@slam854]

Well done!!! I would love to see the finished project. Heat is a big issue in the cold. My dad had a Karman Ghia which he installed a gas jet heater. Fuel economy went to shit when that thing was run.

[@leewintersiii5758]

IT LIVES!!! Excellent job!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you!!

Well dang, some of us older west coast guys can't get up that early... I have built many engines over the years, and I think I had butterflies before the first start on every one.

Sorry man! I've lived in three different time zones and work in a hospital, so time is very relative nowadays.

[@rantsfromtheroad2055]

Another great episode. I'm enjoying learning about the Corvair, of course, now I want one... Your channel is on the verge of taking off, Sean. I've seen other channels like yours grow in the same way. The production quality keeps getting better in every aspect, it's only a matter of time before you're inundated with new subscribers.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you! The Corvair is a fun little car and I really wish they had continued production, I can only imagine what it could have been with modern technology.

[@shin-pad1052]

Great video yet again, well done Sean👍

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thanks!!!

[@mikeconnelly7032]

Did I miss the carpet install? Really would like to see that.

[@mkofftiger]

Is there some kind of adhesive that will fix the headliner? You've done such a superlative job on this car. Congratulations!

[@AutoAnatomy]

Thank you. I’m going to try and suture the rips in the next video

[@billyt7131]

😊😊😊😊

[@billyt7131]

Hi , i had a bunch of corvairs ,,, 2 convertibles ,, i loved all of them , i had 6 corvairs , i still ha ve corvair parts , more of them

[@jerrysmith3515]

I have always been a Corvair fan. I was hoping that you were going to paint the outside as well. So tell us what will the Corvair's value be? I have heard you mention a couple times that you wanted to replace the windshield. Why? Thanks

[@SoundCenterBari]

Congrats and great video. Noticed that you are in SC. I'm in the coastal area near Georgetown. Trying to finalize a deal on a 65 Corvair Corsa convertible. May need to lean on you a little for advice if you are available.

[@AutoAnatomy]

Sounds great, just let me know!

[@CAPTLIEPS]

I had a 65 Monza 140 in the 70's, worked on them a lot, easy to pull engine out and in, what would one like yours sell for now ?

[@AutoAnatomy]

The 140hp version is certainly more valuable than the 110hp, but I’ve seen examples like mine range from 5-8k

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

Pretty neat to compare your abilities and confidence from 6 or 7 years ago to now. You've come a long ways baby, now you can let your hair down. Oh wait you've done that already...LOL

[@GWAR1982]

Great job . What kind of headphones are those?

[@AutoAnatomy]

[@jmcahron368]

I liked this series. It got me interested in your channel. I've heard that the Corvair could have become the American Porsche had Chevrolet stuck with it, and didn't worry so much about V8's. I think it would be great if you worked it to get more power, and maybe a 5-spd along with beefing up the suspension. Thanks! What's next?

[@AutoAnatomy]

It would have been neat to see what another 50 years of engineering and advanced technology could have done to this car. As for plans, I have a few people interested in purchasing the car so it will likely be sold in the next few weeks. I'd love to find another one sometime (maybe a wagon or rampside truck) and keep it longer. Or...find another coupe and make a race car! What do you think?

[@ercost60]

Love this series. Corvair parts are 5X more expensive than they were when I bought my car. Do you know how much you spent on the rebuilt engine & rebuilt hubs?

[@AutoAnatomy]

The hubs were ~$300 each, and I don’t know about the engine…I’ve not added it up yet

[@rustycutts8665]

Done many

[@edselbobpacer]

Would u recommend this car or a corvair in general as a daily driver

[@RetroMyrtleBeachGuy]

I've got a 63 with a 66 engine swap myself. Are you in a CORSA club? Obviously we have one here in the carolinas lol

[@AutoAnatomy]

Not in a Corsa club, but hear good things!

[@RetroMyrtleBeachGuy]

@@AutoAnatomy you should check out the local Corvair clubs. Cool people and great resources and knowledge. There’s low country, and central Carolina club depending where you are.

[@edkelly3154]

Corsa s.c. is in the upstate, great people.

[@oceanhome2023]

Does it have hydraulic lifters. ?

[@AutoAnatomy]

Yes

[@simonr.5851]

I wonder if a 2014 Chevy Malibu Eco engine will fit in a corvair? Any one have feed back?

[@AutoAnatomy]

It would probably be too tall to fit under the hood. If you were going to swap the engine, something like a Subaru engine would be more appropriate, since it’s a boxer configuration

[@andrewmasty1538]

We’re can I get my 140 rebuilt Jim

[@AutoAnatomy]

I would think any competent machine shop could do the job, but I would first reach out to your local CORSA club to see who they recommend.
