OK I got the tranny and the engine in and should have it fired up but Sunday. I have the rear springs to do this week. I may relocate the springs but not sure if I can do it right now.

OK I guees I need a moderator to move this thread for me.
I ended up going with a Braswell Carb. Motor running strong, Trannie shifting smooth but I definetly need to replace the stock shifter since it's a reverse manual valve body in the trans and it too easy to screw up the shifting. ( especially throwing in reverse at stop signs) Have some Cragar S/S's going on by the end of next week. Interior cleaned up pretty good but I am going to get the seat covers repaired not fully replaced. I'll post before after pics. and I probably re-die the carpets.
Already made an appt. to get the springs relocated and cut in some mini tubs.
I gotta figure out how to pst videos on here or youtube. This motor is SICK!!

Side shot. I haven't touched any of the cosmetics since I bought it and I'm not sure if I will now. It looks a little rustic/redneck/getto/Joe Dirt all wrapped up. Very unassuming!

Current update, Rear Superstock springs relocated, subframe connectors installed. Hurst promatic shifter installed couple little fixes here and there and it's running driving and looking pretty.

I'm definitely leaving the body alone for right now and will drive it as is unrestored. I do wish the previous owner never slapped on the bondo on the lower trim holes. The tires are a MT 30x12.5 rear and the fronts are a silvertown 6.40 on a 4inch rim.

Learn something new every day - I didn't know a 66 Belvie could be had with the premium "tooled leather" interior. Thought it was reserved for Satellites only in 66, then Sats and GTX's in 67. Very cool find. Quote:
interior shot, center console was in the back seat and is pretty mint

The car in the picture is a Satellite with buckets and console. That premium interior with buckets and console never came in a Belvedere.
