- This is the tail of the first drive of the 1964 Corvair with a rear mounted 4.3 V6 engine. We found things that will need improvements for sure! We did find out it will hit 70 mph easily! It handles very well, stops well and drives strait.

Keep it original
Lakewood side louvers would allow more air e try...
Nice job! You should make a similar dam on the driver's side. Then you could have a cold air intake on that side.
Agree with you on your cooling challenges and planned solutions 100% !
I have been fascinated with the Corvair since a kid and the rear mounted V6 is always been an idea I tossed around.
I like what you did with this. Very unique and creative. Made me wonder why I hadn’t seen one before?
I would think matching air scoops or lovers in the rear quarter panels would go along way to giving more air
The original Brittish Mini which was front engine transversly mounted had a similar radiator arrangement with i mounted longitudly next to the engine. They got it to work, i am sure you can.
Awesome 😎 you got this....If that is your farm you were cruising...Great place.... I like this project...
Congratulations that's so cool to see an old car back on the road again 🎉
they make cooler and fan on the corvairs that had ac you could get a ac condensor and t off the water going though that also and have a fan mounted on it where it would bring the air in from the hood without cutting the hood then you could run some duck work on the rad side and mount a small fan to bring more air in on that side with cutting anything this sure has been great to see you put that in there
This is just too cool! (No pun intended).
interesting project for sure!
I vaguely remember someone in the 60s adding a scoop just before the fender to bring cool air into the engine bay, like Ford did for the brakes on the mustang except these were the "NASA" style
What a unique project car.
The latest Electric fans are Brushless ball bearings equipped motors. Still pricey. That old Ford Crown Victoria Cop Car Electric Fan is a good one. C4 Corvette guys used for a while. Stock was crap on C4 Corvette.
i would try it with hood off and see what ir needs exactly
Awesome Man!
Grreat installation ,im sure you'll work out the air flow issues. Shout out from the boyz in montreal
Put a one inch deep shroud on the radiator and mount the fan on the shroud so you pull air through the whole surface of the radiator.
