Re: '66 Longbed 327 w/AC project
Thanks! I'm still learning about this truck...no crossmember? what? This should be a JOY to work under vs my 71! I've been scrounging info all i can, but i'm thinking the same competition plus shifter + homemade mount if need be + homemade linkage if need be +np440 would be THE ticket. I think i'll convert the dist to pertronix so looks stock, and have it recurved to come in faster, and top out at maybe 30 mech. Get the carb redone and maybe i can get like 17-20mpg cruising without the secondaries! I'm a q-jet guy, but i don't think the 4GC is a bad carb, should work well for this truck.
It's hard deciding where to start, my mind ends up in 500 places. I think the gauges first, interior, etc. Then yank engine to seal up and detail, do engine bay, new clutch, then new tranny behind. Then i can work on exterior. Should take ALLLLL winter, which is kind of what i think i really wanted anyway.
not before these two get a ride or two though, they've been itching for some outside time.
