<VV> Corvair engine codes (1965 RV = PG/AIR?)

Fri Sep 26 11:57:05 EDT 2014

Yes, for "1966" only, "RR" is for "A/C" but with no specification as to
transmission type.

"RE" (for 1965-1967) id simply "A/C" and "RF" = "H.P.E, A/C" (also for
1965-1967) more specifically refers to "high performance" (140/turbo?) with
A/C.

Although none of these specify transmission, which RM, MS, MU and MA specify
as "M/T"

This is from http://www.tpocr.com/corvairec.html

The tech guide may differ but I don't have one so that determination will
have to wait ...

Unless it was an Air Conditioned Corsa-Then it would be "RR".

Ok, now I think I understand the question.  What you wanted to know is:

"What engine code is original for a Corsa?"

The answer is "RB".

The engines were assembled in Tonawanda and shipped to the assembly plants.
The complete - air cleaner to oil pan - engine was an assembly that was
installed, so it had to "plug in" to the car with no changes required.
Don't forget that the date code on the engine should precede the one on the
body by a fairly short time, a couple weeks or so.

But what you *really* wanted to know is:

"Where do I get this amazing compendium of knowledge known as the CORSA Tech
Guide?"

The answer is
