1966 Chevelle
 

-------Saw what appears to be a very nice 66 Chevelle drop-top on E-bay (#230047471680) and wonder what you guys think??? And what makes a 66 360hp different from a 67 350hp???
-------Im as aware as all of us what restos cost and I dont doubt that there has been goodly amounts of cash thrown at this ride but whats the car worth???
-------Also, would the top of the doorpanels have been black as is pictured or white when the car was new???
-------Thanks for your thoughts......Bill S

Cast iron holley intake and carb on the 66. Q-jet and iron q-jet intake on the 67. The true 360 hp most were 4-bolt blocks. They used the 962 block for both 360 & 375 hp Chevelles in 66. Also open air cleaner on the 66 not sure on the 67 Chevelle. The 66 961 block was for the 2-bolt motors. The 67 used a 406 block for both the 375 & 350 hp one was 4-bolt & the other 2-bolt. Hope this helps. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Kim,,, Thanks for the comeback. I have a bit of a problem however as I bought a 67 396/350 Chevelle new and it had a single feeder Holley on it. I remember other 67s with 325s having quadrajets though........Bill S

Re: 1966 Chevelle
 

The `67 Chevelle 325 horsepower 396 used a Quadrajet carb and a single snorkle air cleaner, and the 350 horsepower version used a Holley carb with the open element air cleaner.

Odd that they would use a larger carburetor (advertised 750 cfm) on the 325 HP engine than they did the 350HP engine (advertised 585 cfm), then proceed to choke the larger carb with the more restrictive air cleaner and give the smaller carb the better air cleaner. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Same problem you have for the 350 hp L-79 66&67 nova 585 cfm in stock & super/stock they were DOGS because of the carb.

Bill you are right https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif my point was about the difference in the block.I didn't explain that. Kim

The 275 & 250 hp 327 will kick a$$ on the 327-350 hp in any class today!!!
