66 short in Australia

[Far Kennell]

Hey Buzz, maybe it was a panel shop telling me that, thought it sounded funny at the time.....
these trucks are hard to beat in red, blue, silver, and turquoise. I would like to paint mine that dark metallic green that came on EH premiers back in the day....or silver mink with some pearl added like a 68 monaro I once owned

Far Kennel--i have a couple of supply shop here in town..1 has Autothane brand,made by PPG and seems quite reasonable.got quoted $550 for 4lt kit of high build and 4lt of basecoat/clearcoat...just have to chose a colour!been thinking hugger orange or matt grey or OG blue or turquoise poly?

I vote for hugger orange!

also went 5hrs last weekend and picked up a 327sbc..casting numbers came up as 65-67 2 bolt so spot on for a 66.it has polished resized rods,factory steel crank and trw 10-1 forgies,neutral balance.came with ported and 2.02 valve double hump fuelies already with screw in studs...no cam-looking at comp cams 4x4 extreme series.looking at making 350hp and good torque...i like the 327/fuelie combo..bit old school..could make a bit more with 350 and more modern heads...but big hp is not the object this time..i paid $1200 if anyone interested...came with twin row timing chain,new mellings oil pump and full felpro gasket kit...need sump and pick up,cam/lifters,balancer and flex plate..i already have script rocker covers,speedway ram horns,early air filter and edelbrock manifold with filler neck...cheers
