Readers with long memories may recall my tale of woe; my daughter peeled the
#3 rod cap off in her 66 Monza. With the help of the VV community and some
great Corvair vendors, I rebuilt the engine. Within about 100 miles, the #5
rod bearing spun. After a second tear down and rebuild, the engine has
developed a severe knock again. The car has been sitting in my shop, and my
daughter has been patiently waiting for me to build up the motivation to
tackle this project again.
I think I am at the point where I would like to swap in a running engine and
get her back on the road while I go through the knocking engine to try to
determine why I keep experiencing these failures. Does anyone know of a
relatively affordable, running engine available in the Austin - San Antonio
area? If so, perhaps you could contact me off board.
Thanks,
