Ralph Nader Wouldn't like me

Well, I did it. I purchased the car i've always wanted, a Corvair Monza. Its a 1963 sedan, with the larger 145cui engine and black leather interior. The engine is tired, real tired, and leaks oil like crazy. Good news is that i was able to find a fellow corvair enthusiast who lives less than ten miles away, and was able to find an engine for me. He's going to show me how to drop the engine and transaxle, swap the engine and reinstall it in the car. He's done it in as little as six hours before. It only takes about 30 minutes to drop the entire engine and transaxle on a corvair. He's even letting me use his garage.
