Here are some pics I took today of my 66 coupe. This project has taken over 20 months to get to this point. Interior and more tuning all that is needed to get finished. Some specs:

1966 200 block with 250 head
Offy triple carb setup, 3 holley 1904 w/glass bowls waiting for install, running a RBS for break-in right now
3 speed toploader from 1967 stang.
5 lug 8" rear with 3.00:1 non locking rear
5 lug spindles
V8 steering linkages
4.5 leaf mid eye leafs
QA1 Coilovers in front using stock upper A-Arms + my custom conversion pieces. Jury out on how well these will work out, kinda rides like a chuck wagon right now. Still working on final ride height and dampening settings.

looks great. where did u get your machine work done. I'm in Scottsdale and looking for a good shop for my 250 head.
 
Shetland - machine work done at Baileys Machine Shop of Mesa, they do good work and the price is right. Bob Bailey is the owner, been in business 30+ years.
 
Jack-
Thank you for the contact. I will give them a call.
Do you ever take your car to Pavillions car show (101 & Indian Bend) on Saturday nights? I would love to see it in person.

Bailey's did my 67 as well. Just took them several weeks longer than promised and I had to have the motor rebuilt four weeks after it was installed. KaBoom...... They did cover the labor to rebuilt it, but not to R&R the engine. However, they came highly recomended to me and I think they do good work. I think they just made a simple mistake when they assembled my block, and everyone is entitled to a mistake here and there. :oops:

If you just need machine work done, and no assembly, use B&B Machine in Mesa. They are great guys, do good work, are fast, and reasonable. They will do head work, just no short block assembly. Tell them Ford Six sent ya. :wink:
