I found mine by asking around at an EAA meeting. One of the guys remembered ajunkyard a couple hours away that had some Corvairs, and I was able to find mycore there.I also joined a local Corsa Chapter that provided some leads. Other ideas wouldbe to ask local auto mechanics if they have any ideas on where to find one.Maybe put a "wanted" ad in a local paper. There's craigslist.org too.Don't give up searching - the hunt is kinda fun! Take your camera so you can takepictures if it's still in a car someplace.Once I started looking I had a couple leads, and ended up grabbing a 1967 core.Patrickhttp://picasaweb.google.com/Patrick.Hoyt/PatsCorvairEngine--------Patrick601XL/CorvairN63PZ (reserved)Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Where to look-- CorvairWell most people advise to check with your local Corvair chapter. That may be an OK option. I have spotted a couple possible engine donors in a junk yardhere in SC. Honestly I have been keeping the info under my hat, as I planned to buy them myself...but never have come up with the spare change. They were a bit pricey last time I asked. Seems like $300 each, but I think that was with him pulling them, which is easily worth $150 to me (versus laying in thedirt in the SC heat!).Good luck!Boyce**************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
