Re: 1966 custom cab short

Went with a 2.250" flowmaster you build it dual exhaust kit and dynomax turbo mufflers. The exhaust shops want around 2 grand for dual exhaust now.
Had to swap tailhousings from a s10 t5 tranny to my camaro t5. Then to retain my the top portion of my factory 2 barrel air cleaner i found a older 4 barrel base and cut it out to fit a newer style quadrajet riser and I was back in buisness

Re: 1966 custom cab short

Really happy with the 327 and camaro T5 . The camaro ratios are night and day better and the little mouse engine rips and revs so quick . I’m revving 2100 rpm at 75 mph and no lugging, 3:73 rear ratio and 28" tires

Re: 1966 custom cab short

Nice work! The fresh 327 looks really good in there. Did you use a rattle can to paint it?

No its a Nason single stage paint. I took my bell housing to paint shop and they got a fairly close match from the original grey paint that was on there.

Re: 1966 custom cab short

If you want the NAson paint code just let me know. Not sure how acurate it is but looks pretty close to me

This just gave me an idea to start a modern paint code thread for the 60-66 trucks. If you don't mind sharing it there, and here, please do.
