PPCC List - RMC List - Fwd: Corvair

Fri Aug 26 09:11:03 EDT 2022

I forgot to mention - the engine that was in my sons 67 is a truck / Van
engine. A previous owner relocated the dipstick to make it work in a car.
The ENGINE stamp is a TIOI7V which I believe the V at the end indicates
Van. Any issues installing the pictured transaxle to this engine? As you
can see I have the transmission mount. Any other things I need to be aware
of?

Thanks,
JK
