IFB SHORTBLOCK ASSEMBLY

Get a head start on your conversion with the best complete shortblock that incorporates the robust IFB (Integral Front Bearing).   You receive a rebuilt case with the front bearing housing integrated into it.  The crankshaft is one piece assembly that has been reground, nitrided, and balanced.  The thrust is now carried at the front of the motor near the prop hub.  If you choose a NEW Crankshaft there may be a lead time.  New Crankshafts are quality ISO certified forged, counterweighted, balanced, nitrided, and "gun" drilled.  Our 120 Crankshaft is stroked 1/4".  The simplicity of the IFB design also reduces the parts count down to the absolute minimum.   Simplicity and strength are key components to the IFB.   The Case is assembled with new bearings, OT10 (or your choice) camshaft, new gear, and torqued to specifications.   Cores needed or core charge applied. Check out the Spyder IFB Info page for details about this design....IFB Inf

Rebuilt Corvair Head Assemblies 

 

Here at our shop we disassemble and clean good Corvair heads to prepare them for rebuild.   Exhaust stacks are removed and cleaned.  Ports are cleaned. We remove the carb flange and weld on intake pipes that mate up with our intake manifold kit.  A significant amount of milling is done to allow them to cool better and look better.  New bronze valve guides are installed, along with new valves, springs, and seals.   Three angle valve cut is performed to the seats.  Seats can be replace when necessary or on request.  Our prices depend on your request.  Typical rebuild of your heads (pair) is $1300  or outright for $1,700 (availability limited).
