Since the turbo jet 396 in the 66 will need a rebuild. I was thinking I could scoop up the pair of these Turbo Jet 532's instead. Course, it would probably require a few modifications here and there. http://hartford.craigslist.org/pts/2226055168.html

Got back from Mexico yesterday and came home to a LOT less snow. I can see my entire roof again!

Now that I have torn down my engine and put it back together I am trying to get it to run a little better and a little cooler.
