 Sorry.. it's terminal...
 But just as many come to life just fine...
  Dismantle... clean..inspect and find good used parts to repair...
> Matt Nall...never rebuilt an engine...so far!
===================================
Smitty Says;  I seldom disagree with the junkmeister  on squeezing the last 
bit of potential out of a Corvair or it's parts, but I would always run an 
engine if it is capable of running before opening it up.Stuck rings, carbon 
flakes on valve seats, stuck lifters can come loose after a period of 
running.  Generally speaking, what do you stand to lose.  Of course, do fix 
the oil leak first.
On the other questions about what will swap with what, I am not in the habit 
of telling people to buy a book to get answers, but I strongly suggest you 
buy a copy of the Junk Yard Primer to answer your present questions and the 
many more to come.   $7 at Clarks
