Well,,, I think I'm going to do it..

Have been himming and hawwwing and not driving the 66 much since I finished the ElCamino project. Put new DOT's on the rear and and swapped the old 6" rod higher end 383 short block for the rather mild short block that has been in there for 5 years or so. It developed a blowby issue that I didn't expect (didn't have that bad of leak-down when I stored the shortblock anywys) but it's pressurizing the crankcase and pushing oil out.


soooooooooo. The Nova's backup 434 is going into the 66.




Will have to build a set of headers, and I suspect the trans will eventually also get swapped, will have to cut the cage out and build it right,,, and find a way to bring the rear struts out the window (still can't bring myself to hack the back of the cab)

Super73,, or anybody have a 60-67 with a cage / bar and get the rear struts out the (small) rear window?

My only option is to put it on a throttle stop to keep ETs below 11.5 and MPH under 130. I REALLY hate that idea!
