[V8Vairs] [fastvair] Corvair V8 - Crown Conversion

[GnKHOFFMAN at aol.com]

Neal:
 
I don't recall Greg Riley's book covers that detail, but it is an excellent  
book about the history, and various types of V8 Corvairs.  I do believe  that 
Clarks still carrys the Crown Manual on doing a V8 conversion, which would  be 
a good resource for you.
 
Good luck, and welcome to the group of V8 Vair owners!

Neal,

Not sure what specific information you're looking for, and  I haven't seen
Riley's book, but most questions can be answered by members  of the V8 group
(V8Vairs at corvair.org).

Post your questions and we'll  do the best to answer them.

And now for a couple of questions of  mine:

1. Where are you located (might find another V8 vair in the  neighborhood).
2. How complete is the conversion?

Just to get  started.

There's also a couple of online resources,  like:
