Saturday I spent the day at my brother in laws garage. He has a really nice 66 Fairlane with a 390 backed by a C6. Last year he had some internal issues so he decided it was time for a rebuild. He had Nickens Racing build a mild street motor with a few upgrades.
It was finally time to install it so Chris and I went to assist. That turned in to an all day deal.

Many years ago I helped a buddy stab a 351 in a 69 Mustang. We fought the manifolds against the shock towers but finally wedged it in place. This all came back to me yesterday while trying to squeeze a 390 with Tri-Y headers in between those same style of shock towers on this Fairlane. It will fit, but plenty of paint was scratched in the process.
