Builders;
I have a new, 3,000cc Corvair in my shop. It has 2 hours of break in time on it only, done on my test stand. It is built directly under my supervision from a complete parts kit from myself and SPA. The engine is set up for a group 2800 heavy duty oil system. They are not in the picture, but the engine comes with an E/P-X distributor and a front alternator system.
.
The engine belongs to a very close friend, but I will back it as I would any engine built in my shop. I am going to do further break in runs on it this weekend, and write a full set of test logs for it. If the buyer chooses, they can come for a free day in the shop with me and run their engine, and get a day of familiarization trainning. I can crate and ship this if the buyer isn’t picking it up in person, but the new owner needs to cover the costs.
.
This is an excellent running start at the 2019 building and flying season. The typical cost for this engine at this stage, with a day of running and trying in my shop is close to $14K . This is a one time deal, and it will be sold for $11,500 this week. To be the new owner, it just needs to be paid for, I’m willing to store it until spring if the new owner can’t pick it up right away.

Above, the engine in my hangar. It is built around a forged 8409 crank, billet rods, SPA gen II 5th bearing, and all our components. It has all the latest detail upgrades and would be a fine Powerplant for any Corvair powered homebuilt.

Call or text me, 904-806-8143 or email WilliamTCA@flycorvair.com if you need more information or would like to be the new owner.
