Looking for a corvair engine that i can use in a buggy project. Any condition, any model. Considering marriage with either a semi-auto box or 2L kombi box - happy for advice and recommendations.

can either PM me or text me on 0400 314 485

cheers

There is a dude on here called "manxed" do a search for his threads... He had one for sale, unsure if it sold.

Cool thanks.....will pm him

Might be best to call him as i don't think he gets on here all that often....

How about a thread for all to see of the rebuild of your dad's Swiss Froggy buggy , and as much as it would be great to rebuild it as it was when lost , a corvair six is a great hunk of cast iron to be banging from the back of any vw

aluminiun block and heads, cast iron cylinders, same make up as a beetle engine.

Corvair engine weighs about 110kg

My dad did tell me that a big lump of a corvair motor did cause it to wheel stand on take off. I think restoring the Swiss buggy to its original guise will be challenge. The chassis was extensively modified to carry the corvair motor with a
Power glide tranny. Its a unique car and it deserves the same original layout....if possible. My dad, now 71, was so excited to see his creation again after 39 years it has rejuvenated a new spark for a father-son project.

Lee- nothing would excite me more than to slap a corvair in my semi-auto! It will certainly get rid of that flat spot I got! Otherwise my kombi will benefit as well !

Once underway, I will put together a resto documentary, including heaps of historical info on the Swiss buggy.

Thanks to dasdubber I have a lead to a potential corvair motor.

Cheers everyone

I hope you are lucky with your search and that the engine you find already runs the correct direction.

We have one if all else fails.
On the sunshine coast though if you don't mind to travel.

If you do find one you can get all the parts cheap enough to make it reverse rotation from Clarks Corvair in the states.
