Year:1966

Front End:CPP tubular upper & lower control arms, disc brakes, 1" sway bar, linelock.

Engine:Currently a mostly stock 40 over 230 L6 with a 194 small cc. head with a stovebolt castiron header and HEI ignition.

Transmission:350 turbo

Rear End:Currently original 10 bolt, with urethane bushings.

Accessories/Options:

Sound system:Stock am radio that still works. I drive home from the cruise in on friday nights and listen to the grand ole opry.

Comments: Kinda what I'm trying to do is modify it but try to keep it as stock looking as possible. Like the dual snorkel breather and my guages are mounted on a hinge so I can tuck them under the dash when it's parked. So tell me what you guys think.

Sweet looking 66 I love the look and stance really nice. If your considering performance upgrades how about a turbo on the stock 6 that would be:cool:

I'ts funny you should say that because I really have been thinking about it alot lately. Have you seen that exhaust manifold that guy sells on ebay. It's pretty wicked. I have a 250 newly built setting on an engine stand. I just can't make up my mind on what I want to do. I don't really know a whole lot about turbos yet but I have been reading about them.:yes::yes::yes:

I wonder how much boost the stock parts would hold.

I really dont know. I do know that if you plan on running very much you have to oring the block. From what I've gathered you could probably run 5-6 pounds in stock trim.:thumbsup:
