[Western Canada CORSA]

Doesn't the 164ci case have extra ribbing to strengthen the case against the
increased forces generated by the longer stroke crank?

Regards,
Joel

my 2 answers to why go to the "trouble" of hogging out a 145 block to take  
164cu in stuff are  it looks stock when done , it is a better job that
putting 
the oil fill hole in a 164 block.either job take about the same time and  
effort . it does not require any special tools. both are not that hard to
do. i 
should not have to explain it much to knowing FC guys or those with a
little 
savy in corvairs.  i  use late ends(bell housing and rear cover  assembly)
on 
the block , along with all late engine guts. if i also change  to alternator

, i use a 1 inch soft plug in the oil fill pipe hole.i have done  all of
this 
several times over the years , and they look good and run  good.
several pictures of some of my past engines are on the web somewhere.
enjoy.
