<VV> Need help putting 140 block into PG

Mon Apr 21 06:56:59 EDT 2014

Oil pan is the same; just need to R&R to aid in installing the bell housing.

Not sure what you mean 'change out the pilot bushing'. You remove it for a
PG, but install one for a manual.

Right -  the car has a non-functioning 110 w/ PG and (for now) I want to put
the 140 in with the PG, just to get behind the wheel of a Corvair after way
too long, hopefully.

So 2 issues (so far) :

1 a) 140 has dual exhaust, but it's not required (just to get it running?)
1 b) I seem to recall (as you pointed out) that the exhaust ports are bigger
on a 140's manifolds, so the 110 single setup won't fit, right?

2) Need to change bell housing (got one)

3) Need to change out pilot bushing (thanks Matt)

4) Is oil pan different? I have both so I can compare when the sun comes
back up...

Thanks!
Charlie

I'm confused - you want to put a 140 into a PG car or a 4 spd manual car? 
Yep, the bell housings are different.  The exhaust is different between a
110 and a 140.  The 140s are different between manual and PG trans.  4
degree crank retard on PG 140.

So, please help us understand your intentions better.

Thanks
Later, JR
