340's are expensive...get a 360...cheap and plentiful, and 20 extra cubes dont hurt either.

V8 will not bolt to /6 trans. You need a V8 trans case. The internals are mostly the same as /6 trans,though.

'66 seems to be a change-over year...some slants came w /dropped centerlink, some didn't.

Hope this helps...
