I'd show up with a a bellhousing, starter and battery to run a compression test before handing over my money. Of course not everyone has those kicking around, but I do! :D
I think it actually comes with starter and bellhousing...I guess I could ask him to pull it out so we could do a compression test.

Sell the '65 Corvair and buy the slant! :shock: :lol:
I wish I could sell stuff; it would be easier!

Once it's mine, it's pretty much mine, however. Besides, putting the top down and rowing through the gears is always a good time. :)

Well, we'll see how well this works. I told the shop I want the engine. I'll pick it up over the next few weeks...I might just swap it over a weekend or something.

Another issue is that the 170 is shorter than the 225 and so your current exhaust pipe will be too short to meet the 225s manifold. This can be solved with a visit to your muffler shop OR by using an exhaust flange as a spacer to make up the distance. I believe that it was Doug Dutra who came up with this fix many moons ago. :D
Any more details on this exhaust flange matchup?

Also, if I have to switch the oil pan, will I have to also change the pickup, or would that be the same? Is there any gasket for that or does it thread in? (absolutely zero slant six experience here)...

Thanks!
