<VV> cut-down fan (humor)

Well, I guess we have all made mistakes.  In my 35 years of Corvair  
wrenching I have forgotten a few parts too.  The "fun" thing about Corvair  engines is 
how they layer together.  Any part forgotten along the way  pretty much 
guarantees a layer by layer peeling to recover.  Here's my  list;
Fan (yeah, me too)
Input shaft 
split ring for input shaft
cylinder baffles
push rods (I knew they were off but didn't realize that the rare of the  
engine would have to be dropped to install them.
 
My personal favorite: (more of a mis-diagnosis).  65 GB engine ran but  
wouldn't move, slight grinding noise. Had to be spyder gears. This lead to a  total 
power train exchange including 4-sp to PG.  Still no-go!   Everything had 
been changed; what could it be?  Bad axle yoke.  Oh  man!
