BSCC- Looking for Corvair engine to rebuild

[lionelsgarage at aol.com]

I found a 140 with 4 carbs, late model (65-69) that I will be picking up sometime next week. When I do I can give you more information and the condition of it. Let me know if you are interested.

Be careful on getting the right engine.  The engine you want was built
between 64-69, so you really don't want the '60 model.  Also, think
about the heads you need becausethey will be hard to find and expensive
if you don't get the right ones on your core.  You probably want the
110HP and not the California Smog heads.  I did some horse trading with
a guy building an aircraft engine.  I wound up trading my 110HP (2 carb)
heads for his 140HP (4 carb) heads.  My engine is a 65 which is now
mounted in my 66 Corvair.
