Hey All,
I'm new to the site and have been doing some reading of past posts, We will be picking up a new project for my wife next weekend, it's a '66 couple, currently 6 cyl, Manual, drums, no A/C, yada, yada
essentially a basic car, I've checked it over and while it has some of the normal rust issues it appears that its all superficial. even the floor pans look like that are in decent shape. we have been coming up with a "wish list" of things to do to the car during the "resto-mod" of the car.
the first thing is to get rid of the 6 and manual and convert it to a V-8 and auto.
then convert to disk brakes and 5 bolt wheels
we also want to add A/C and power steering.
I'm sure I'll have hundreds of questions when the time comes to actually start turning wrenches on this thing.
my first question is: which V-8's and auto tranny will fit in this car with the least amount of hassle?
thanks for any insight you may have
