@@EndWrenchRookie I still have mine to get running, but I may need to fix or replace the distributor first. Seems to be missing based on the timing light. Your video will help in that. :)
@@EndWrenchRookie If it's an AC 110, it's one of two possibilities. Either the factory put thicker head gaskets to lower the compression ratio, or they put 95HP heads (8.25 ratio vs the 110 9.25). Essentially a 95HP with a 110/140 cam. Should run really well, and you might even be able to run regular unleaded in it if it's got the 95HP heads. Won't do much in terms of torque, but for whatever reason this combination tends to run really well. Probably the bumpier cam and the more open-chambered design of the heads. The aircraft guys really love engines with the 95HP heads, so it's getting harder and harder to find them. Definitely a keeper as a backup, even if you build the new motor. Don't rev it up too much or the springs will float pretty bad and will eventually drop a valve seat. That 891 cam has a little too much lift on it for the stock springs. Just do normal, healthy driving and it should be fine. If you build the new motor, try a new 2304 cam if you want to stay "stock", but don't want to have to worry about valve float too much. It was the factory replacement cam from GM for all years.
@@CorvairSteveMorton It's all over the place. In quite a few books and on various Corvair forums. We even have a "110" engine with 95 heads. We've had quite a few marked with 110 A/C block codes that had the 95HP heads. I think it was done to help considering how hot they often ran with the A/C condenser dump its head directly into the engine. Reducing detonation and reducing the temperature of the charge are huge benefits of a lower compression ratio. As to the cam stuff, that's also common knowledge. Drive any 110 or 140 over 4500-5500 RPM, and pretty soon you'll hear chattering. Apparently the 2304 cam was designed specifically to alleviate this issue, and was the official cam used in all turbos at some point for this very reason. As to the heads, open chambered heads tend to "flow" better because there's less restriction in the area of the valves. Add a cam with a little too much lift, and it just likes to breath. Even if that means it suffers in bottom-end torque. If you're talking about the valve seats, Corvairs are really prone to dropping seats. This engine was probably run hot in the past with the stock A/C condenser, so you don't want to rev it hard and cause the valve to chatter on the valve seats. Just doing normal driving and it'll run pretty well, assuming it's not worn out.
Thank you so much! Yes, it was very helpful seeing a list that I could double check against. Unfortunately, I have been on hold making my parts purchase until I can come up with the funds to make it happen. I was super lucky to find this free engine to install in the meantime. I can't wait to finally build my engine out. Just have to wait until I can get some cash rounded up. Thanks again!
Lol. Ya, super happy with how it fires up and runs. Just need to get it to idle and I will do the swap. Can't wait. Corvairs do be likin to leak :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the heads up. I thought I checked the timing pretty well, but I agree, it seems like I am fighting timing still. I will check it out. Thanks!
Dude you listed every car show I watch cool man Whammy!
LOL. That's awesome. Thanks for watching me as well!
Impressive! Can’t wait to see you mount it.
Thank you so much! That makes two of us :) Thanks for watching
Wow not even tick sounds great. Let’s go put it in a go for a cruise
Sounds like a plan to me :) Thanks for watching!
Sounds good. :)
Thank you so much!

@@MrWaalkman I hope so. Good luck!
That has the AC oil filter adapter too. It is a '65 or later engine.If lucky it is 110 hp model:)
Indeed. It is a 110 hp model with Air Conditioning mounts. Thanks for watching!

@@railsrust Very interesting. I will have to take a look at the heads and see. Thanks!
@railsrust where did you get this information. I ask because this is the first time I've heard of such a thing.

Did the parts list I send you help you out searching the parts you needed for the new engine?

no smoke on startup!!!!!!! Stab it in the Corvair and send it...I had a Black '64 with 4 speed and it leaked oil like the Exxon Valdeze.

Too early / advanced ignition.

Save 11+ minutes of your life and skip it till motor actually fires up.
Thanks for the input!
