this is part five in the ‘new sources’ series.
.
Builders;
Ok, so far in this series on accelerating your engine build, we have followed the basic path that builders go through:
.
First, a look at working with the best sources for progress:
Revised sources, listed by Group numbers, Aug. ’15
.
Second Decide what 5th bearing to use:
Sources: Choosing a 5th Bearing
.
Third, Decide what displacement to build:
Sources: Choosing a displacement.
.
Fourth, review the first milestone, getting to a Closed case:
Sources: Closing a case
.
Now lets move to looking at the Groups individually. The first one in the conversion manual is Group 1000, the Crankshaft group. While it is discussed in great detail in the Manual, the focus here is on where do you have it processed if you want to make progress on your engine? This question has one simple answer: You have your crankshaft processed by the Weseman’s ( https://flywithspa.com/corvair/ ) or you buy one of their new USA made Billet Cranks. The have processed exchange cranks on the shelf, and you can begin your engine build this week, not next year.
