To determine which engine/case you need to buy, all you need is a page from Clark's Corvair's catalog, at http://www.corvair.com/user-cgi/catalog.cgi?function=goto&catalog=MAIN§ion=MAIN&page=1 . You want a 65-69 case with 95hp or 110hp NON-smog heads. It's that simple. There are drawings on the page to help you identify the heads. The head numbers are on the forward or aft ends of the heads next to the valve cover (running vertically) and the case number is stamped on the block just forward of the oil filter housing. 1964's work OK if you are going to bore it out to 190CID, but those are more trouble than they are worth otherwise due to the oddball cylinder spigot size. Buy William Wynne's conversion manual before you go any further. See http://www.flycorvair.com/manual.html on how to order it. Don't get me started on his "Crankshaft 101" page, however. Ordering the current Clark's Corvair catalog is another great first step. See http://www.corvair.com/ on that. There are several hundred pages of useful info on Corvairs for use in aircraft at http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/, as well as an email list you can join for advice named CorvAircraft, which you can get instructions to join from http://www.corvaircraft.org/ .
