I could use some tips to help me located and buy an available - and affordable - Corvair engine (65-69) suitable as a core to be rebuilt as per William Wynn please let me know. 

I did source a many import core parts from a supportive builder near me.. However I'd like to learn by tearing down an engine myself.  I'd then have more parts to work with.

Corvair engines seem harder to find north of the US-Canada border.  I am aware of a couple near me In Ottawa, but the owner wants almost $1000(US) for them.  I am willing to drive somewhere to pry an engine out of car out back of someone's barn.

Has anyone bought a core unseen and had it shipped?  Is this a valid and affordable option?

thanks,

John M
