New Engine

Sept 2006

Well since the old engine in my '66 is trashed from the 4 feet of salt water that Hurricane Katrina brought in.... I had to get a new engine built. I didn't want to use any of the old parts, didn't want any failures due to bad parts...So the engine is done and it runs great! For now it will have to remain in the back of my old van as the '66 needs to be re-wired, and brakes... Now it needs a new transaxle. That salt water corroded everything. It ate the inside of the old engine up, and corroded all the electrical connections and ate through the transaxle case.
