66 questions

I am to look at a 66 tomorrow. isn't that the first year for the NON- stovebolt 6cyl. ? if it is a stovebolt 6 will a typical 70's TH350 still bolt to it? thanx , crossy

Re: 66 questions

Memory tells me the Stovebolt was used until 1962 and the 230 became standard in 1963. Wikipedia states it happened a year earlier. In any event a 1966 wouldn't have the "old" engine unless someone swapped it in.

Re: 66 questions

The 'stovebolt' I6's (216,235,261) were last used in the '62 model year. 1963 was the first year for the 230, and the 292 in the trucks. A '66 would likely have either a 250 or a 292, if it is original.

Re: 66 questions

I have a 66 with a 235...
someone transplanted it though....

as mentioned above 63 was the switch to the 230/292, and in 66 the 250 was added to the lineup. the nice thing about these 6's is that a modern chev th350 will bolt right up.

No, the TH350 will bolt right up to the 194, 230, 250 and 292 I6's. And so will any other Chevy trans or bellhousing up until about 1999-2000.
