Some actually prefer the A66s to the R/Ts due to the better balance of the 340 vs a 383.
Last hijack question....You couldn't get a 340 R/T?

I prefer your grille black Mark. Ultimately you could go back to argent if you decide to go the originality route.

No. R/T was 383 and above.

The A66 IS an R/T without the badges and the big block. That's how I explain it. You don't need RT badges to be cool!

You could get an R/T with a 340 in 1971, but not 1970.

Looks good!
I like the no-R/T stripe! hate that mine looks like an R/T wannabe from a previous owner...

Hey Ben, I'll send you a couple of single sided razor blades, just PM me the address!  :))

Great looking car, but judging by the colour of the valves, you might be running it on coal? It's got to be way rich to be carboned up that much, but the leaking oil wouldn't help the situation much either. Teasing aside, good luck with it and enjoy it as much as possible!  :cheers:

Thanks for the info.  I'm hoping is running leaner now.  The valve stem seals were missing, maybe that contributed to it.

Nice car and repairs relatively minor in the grand scheme of things.


Too bad you didn't paint the engine while it was all apart.

Centerline racing. Can't get them anymore I think.
