I'm looking at a '66 convertible (project). It has a 351w and a C4.
My first question is, if I want to make this a daily driver (for the summer at least, as we get a fair bit of snow here 'round wintertime), would it make sense to track down a 302 for the gas mileage, and maybe a 4bbl carb for some extra oomph?
And secondly, how tough would it be to throw in a 5- or 6-speed? Normally I'd just wait til one showed up that already had the 302/5-speed set up, but the price on this is just too good ($8400, runs and drives).
Any input in addition to this would be welcomed. Thanks so much for your help!
