I'm in the middle of dropping a 326 in it now. She does have some rust but the front floor pans are perfect, rears could use some help.

Is it originally Warwick blue (code 53)? I'm looking for my 1st car which was a '69 Firebird blue on blue.

She's at the least something to play with. Should have her up & running by Monday or Tuesday, hoping anyway.

Had a 326 in a 66 with a 4 speed, nice setup, little better on fuel than a 350 or 400.

IMO Something like this would be far better

Jeff, just think of an OH6 as half of a V12. The economical half.

That OHC motor would smoke many of the V8's
