[FC] Corvanatics Digest, Vol 122, Issue 7

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Hello Ashley,
 
If the engine in your Greenbrier is an FC engine, get it rebuilt.  Car  
engines are used in FCs all the time because they are readily available and 
real  FC engines are becoming like hen's teeth.
 
If your engine is from a car, never mind.  I suggest that you do  not use a 
102 or 140 HP engine without modifications because the high  compression 
engines tend to knock a lot, especially in an FC, it could die  quickly.
 
Good luck,
 
Doc  (used to live in MN)

Hello! My name is Ashley and I have a  lovely 64 Greenbrier. Blue with a 
white stripe, I have been gathering and  installing Deluxe and Camper parts to 
her for 7 years. My hometown knows her  and remarks every time I upgrade 
something new.

I have driven her in  Minnesota summers for the last 7 years, but her heart 
has given out. All 3  pistons on the right side are useless at 50lbs of 
compression. I would love to  find a good engine in the Minnesota-ish area. I 
will try attaching pictures of  my baby. Please give me a call if you have 
anything for sale!  3202790115
