[FC] '61 Rampside

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

Lots of folks like the 110 in an FC, and, if you wanted to trade that 66 
transaxle for an early unit, you should find lots of takers.  It can be 
made to work, except for the speedo, but the correct unit is a lot easier.

Don't know what your engine mounting problems are, but the engines in 
all Corvairs are a bit off center as that is how they were built, and 
one does need the correct brackets and spacers both front and rear to 
get it where it belongs.

Car motors do not have the special FC style oil fill tube / dipstick, 
but that is not an insurmountable problem -- swap the sheet metal, 
install the correct mounting brackets, and that's about it, especially 
since you have an already complete truck to work with.

There has been a very recent thread on this list about most of this, so 
if you missed it, check out the archives (website link at end of this 
post).  The 164 motor takes a less common rear engine mount bracket to 
clear the harmonic balancer, and the 4-speed has a different front mount 
than the 3-speed, and a car one won't work without modification (too short).

Godspeed!
