This brought back lots of good memories. My first car was identical to this one except for color. Bought it for $125 in 1972 and like yours, had to replace the flywheel and top. Sold it to my brother when I found a sweet ‘65 Corsa 140 4 speed coupe. Wish I had that one back…
My 1963 Corvair Greenbrier came with a 95 HP engine with a 2 speed automatic tranny. It was slow and slower for the speeds. It was a commercial van that I had replaced all of the commercial doors with doors that had windows. Gave it to my baby brother after putting a new engine and trans in it. He overheated it trailing with a bunch of his friends and it didn't run properly after that. He took all the doors off, dug out all the body putty I had put on and then let it sit from October to May when he asked me for some help. Unfortunately, the help he needed was a tow truck to haul it out of my Dad's driveway as a friend who had a couple of the Greenbriers wanted all the parts I had collected over the 3 years that I had it. Body got scrapped. Bummer.

I’m ‘62 and just really getting started on Corvairs. Unlike you I do plan on working on them until I can’t. It would be cool if you posted a video showing those tips and shortcuts for pulling engines!
