My dad had a Corvair. He said it was the biggest pile of junk he ever owned. He said ya practically had to pull the engine to change the spark plugs. He also said the engine fell out of it going down the road.....motor mounts rusted thru.
think they have ls1 conversion kits for the s10 frame a LS1 4.8 and 5.3 liter would already be a handfull for the weight of car youre having and shouldnt cost all that much (people want the bigger 6.0 ones) , can put the 4L60E in it too and have 4 gears and a little better milage and the 5.3 can make awesome power with junkyard parts and a turbo , its been done a gazillion times allready the V5 from the s10 / camaro isnt a bad engine either , if you just want only a little more oompf in youre daily driver that could be an option , might fit a little better and have less heat issues too , a turboed honda 4 cilinder from a rear wheel drive would be a nice powerhouse too
There is so many engine swaps that I have considered including an LS and a Honda engine making it rear wheel drive. I’ve even really considered putting in a 283 SBC and having fun with that. But I have ultimately decided that I am going to be swapping in a Pontiac 3.8 L supercharged from a front wheel drive car. I have a rear wheel drive transmission that will bolt right up to it. Other people have done similar swaps in their S tens and they love them.
@@pissedoffpistongarage might need to change the oilpan some or see if you can find one that fit it as a rwd engine might be the realy early v sixes have the same basic block and a pan with pickup from one of those might fit the supercharged one might need a few other things like a thermostad housing and hoses as the engine will be rotated a quarter turn
@@watahyahknow yeah I know. I’m going to go with a fourth GEN Camaro V6 oil pan. There’s a lot of parts that I am going to have to order. But I am talking to a guy who successfully swapped his in less than 60 days. It’s going to be a big project but I’m all for it!

@@user-sv4vl6ce7p I think I averaged right about 26? There is a lot of rolling hills where I live. When I added the turbo that dropped down to about 21
Excellent project I like the look and I like to dependability is that a 5-speed or an automatic? Did you keep the ac? And thank you so much for doing it if I get my health back in order this is what I wanted to build I want to build something that just looks good does its job but doesn't look like a showroom trailer Queen. Thank you and best regards, Bob from Virginia USA
Thank you for the kind words Bob! These are definitely my favorite comments to read. To answer your questions, I went with the five speed of course. I love driving manuals and could never live with myself if I put an automatic in it. I deleted the AC for two reasons though. The main reason was I am going to be turboing it very soon. As a matter fact I am finishing up buying the stuff I need this week. And because of the turbo location I had to delete the AC compressor. Not to mention my AC didn’t really work to begin with. I know I could’ve put some money into it and made it work but it wasn’t worth it to me. Also, I forget what part of the AC system it is called but where it sits up against the firewall I believe it is called the condenser. Basically what makes the air pass-through the cool freon to make it cold if that makes any sense. That stuck way up past the towel of the Corvair. So I would not have been able to close my hood. You could in theory modify your hood to make it fit but it just wouldn’t look good in my opinion. I don’t think I ever addressed it in any of the videos however you might be able to see it in some of the videos right after I put the body on the frame. Actually, Watch my how to make a cowl induction hood. You can probably see it there. I hope that made some sense. Also recently I just ended up getting the last piece to the AC delete I needed which was a factory AC delete box on non-AC S 10s They are very hard to come by and when you do find them very expensive. I saw one on eBay going for $300. I lucked out like crazy and found one that my friend gave to me for free! So now when you open up the hood it looks like a factory AC delete s 10. Yes I will admit it gets a little hot but nothing some wing windows won’t help with. I hope your Health gets back so you can do a build like this as well! It’s a lot of fun! Nope it is not a garage kept show room trailer queen. I drive this thing rain or shine, night or day. And take it down gravel roads. I drive her hard and she takes every bit of it. Worth every headache and penny!
I Own a 65 corvair I would like to talk to for advice . The only thing I find a blazer 4 door 1997 . Like the one I saw on the video. If u can help me answer some question and direct me in the right direction.aprrciated if u can help.
@@pissedoffpistongarage I would have my hopes up for sure. I have a 1998 Isuzu Hombre 2.2L that I'd like to add some umph to. I was checking out the AMR300 supercharger, a Torqamp, or a Turbo but I'd like to see what steps are needed to have it set up to run reliably.
thank you so much! id hate to do this conversion and have to smog it, there is a guy in my area that has a couple corvairs he just wants off his property and I was wanting to do this swap
@@pissedoffpistongarage I’m seriously thinking about it, I’m just waiting for a response from the guy, and I’ve already found a couple s10 trucks that would make good donors!

Gotta say…no small thing! Very cool project.
I'm glad you're back.
Very awesome dude. Love when someone saves an old classic with a modern chassis swap, especially a Corvair. Nice work!
Thank you! I couldn’t stand to see it sink in my backyard anymore and finally decided to do something with it!

Dude that’s awesome!! I thought about if I had a mustang I would do that. The wheelbase is is all the same too!
Glad to see your video .still working on mine every now and then.building a back window lover shade out of aluminum.
Mine set on top of the fram bought some 2"lowering spindels and my tires are low profile tires.even after lowering it will look like a gamer my have to get taller tires put same blazer gas tank like you did.
Awesome! Glad to hear you are still working on it! How close would you say you are to finishing it?
Don't know still got to rig a gas pedal gas and breaks

Great Job! Awesome project! Did you ever turbo the 2.2?
It’s happening soon! I’m finally going to buckle down and do it. I’m buying everything else I need this week!
A 67 through 69 Camaro rear deck spoiler will fit the car like it was made for it😊
Damn dude, that thing is truly 1 of 1
Thank you!
I like this project a lot. I really want a 4x4 car and do not want a subaru, so a project like this but with a 4x4 truck would work great.
Four-door Chevy s10 blazer has the same wheelbase as a Corvair. I was actually going to use a blazer frame but decided against it.
My dad had a Corvair. He said it was the biggest pile of junk he ever owned. He said ya practically had to pull the engine to change the spark plugs. He also said the engine fell out of it going down the road.....motor mounts rusted thru.
Not sure why you would have to drop the engine to change the the spark plugs but to each there own! Thankfully the rust on mine wasn’t to bad!
No you don’t the spark plugs are on top of engine learn about the car be for you talk bad
@@isaacdanielson7103 Read it again son. That's not what I said.

If you ever make it down to south central Tennessee, I will give you a set of rally wheels for it. Great Job!

Do you think this set up would work with a convertible Corvair.
Without a doubt! You could use a car hoist to lift the body instead of a telehandler
Nice build dude! 🤘Looks awesome already but really looking forward to see how it will turn out with your updates!

Corvair. Vin number on the dash is a Corvair so it’s registered as a Corvair.
