I will be removing the corvair from my 750 and replacing it with a rotax next week. The corvair has 55 hours on the bottom end and 1 hour on the top end.  I started the engine and flew the pattern today (7-16-16) to put an hour +- on the engine after head and cylinder work. The engine wasn't pushed to hard since this flight is part of the break-in period.  I posted a few short videos on my Zenith page. 

Engine 2700 +.030

Weseman 5th bearing

Nitride and tapped crankshaft -.010

forged pistons

new OT-10 cam

MA3-SPA carb (has acc. pump) fresh rebuild

WW's hub, top cover, starter gear, ring gear flex plate, maybe some other stuff

E/P distributor w/4 deg offset

Large oil cooler

Stainless exhaust

John Deere type alternator

engine mount fits 750 (could be modified to fit 601)

cowl fits 750/601

Warp drive prop with 66" and 68 " nickle edged blades.

 

I built this engine using ww's book and writings for guidence. It  has been a very good learning experience.

 

The engine will be on the airframe for a few more days.

 

Price:  Make reasonable offer.  Might consider trading for something.  

 

Been asked, "why you removing the corvair"?   Philosiphy change more than anything I guess. That and I am at a point where a new engine will fit my budget.
