    aftermarket engine block questions

    I believe the 8.7 deck height makes it a 351?? So if space is an issue with a 351 go with the 8.2 deck height.

    66 Fastback Audio

    Thanks iskwezm, do the speakers in the kick panel interfere when you work the clutch or give you enough room to rest your foot when you're on the highway? I'm afraid I'll keep kicking them and getting garbage in the speakers if they're next to the clutch pedal.

    Got kinda bored today

    To get a more professional look; print the word/picture on a computer and cut it out to make a stencil. Trace it on the Plexiglas with a sharpie or dry erase board marker and remove those areas with the grinder. It's cheap and easy:nice:

    How much is this 66 worth?

    I agree, no more than $500, judging from the painted headlight buckets and some sort of expanding foam at the wheel wells this should be looked at very carefully.

    Fox shortblock in a 95?

    Yep, block and heads will work just fine. Use the 95 accessories, sensors, egr, etc for simplicity.
