I used dynacorn with attached crossmember and weld through primer for my 66. I was very pleased with how it fit. This fit the best out of all the sheet metal I got for the car. I had good luck with their full convertible wheelhousings too. I have a totally unverifiable theory that has only worked twice, weld through primer on dynacorn has been nice. Every other piece of sheet metal has been garbage.

Bought these on eBay a few months back for $2500 plus shipping. These are in fantastic shape, they are super straight with no dents or rust. There are some scratches in the primer, but not a big deal. Although the fit is superior to the repos, I couldn’t bring myself to using them on my restomod that I’m going to have to slightly modify the wheel well anyway. I’m located in Southern California, but making a couple trips out to Dallas and Denver in next couple months if that helps with shipping.

Went with power rack, if you use TCI kit (or most others for that matter), and plan on having ac, then you will need to order this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vta-174020

Currently working on replacing the driver quarter and wheelhousing. Haven't messed with trans yet, but from some preliminary measuring looks like it will be quite a bit. On a side note, dynacorn radiator support, and full wheelhousing are awesome parts, they look and fit just like factory. I wish I could say the same for their quarter panel, it's junk and doesn't even come close to fitting well.

Thanks, it's a tight fit. Installed the headers and those took up any room left, trans tunnel will have to be enlarged to fit the t56. Hood fits fine if I don't use the plastic cover. Coverless it is.

I guess I leaned back to coyote. A few issues I will need to address to make fit, looks like I will need to slide the master cylinder over. Also will need to modify the motor mounts that came with the TCI kit to get the motor to sit lower so I can put a stock hood on. Maybe I'll try and slide the t-56 in this weekend and see what kind of tunnel work will needs to be done.

I'm still undecided what I'm going to do. TCI is 15 min away from me so I went up to their shop to check everything out. I started with the front end and was happy with construction, so I went with their torque arm set up also. I just picked up the torque arm set up last week and I can't answer for how any of it handles but it looks beefy and well constructed. From what I've found online, looks like there are some issues going with their front end, like moving firewall back, enlarging trans tunnel, and moving the MC, and it appears to be questionable if the hood will close. I was initially going to put in an old 302 I had laying around, and then I decided coyote, but now I'm leaning back towards the 302. The good news is that I don't have to make a decision right now, as I have plenty of other metalwork to address.

Thanks, that crestronwizard build was pretty sweet, way more intense than I plan. Here's what my project looks like as of now, lots of room in there.....

I've been on this site for years and have never posted, so I'll start with a good one. I have a 66 convertible that I was originally going to put in an old 302 I had laying around. I'm at a bit of a crossroads here. One thing led to another and now I'm itchin for a coyote. I've already welded in a TCI front end and cut out the towers. I know the engine will fit, it's some of the other stuff that I'm worried about. I've been searching online to and I've found some good stuff addressing some of my concerns, but not everything. Who here has done it or knows someone who has? What issues did you face? What transmission did you use, and did you have to enlarge the tunnel? Any links to good threads you've seen on this topic would be apprecaited also. I feel like all I'm finding is "I put this motor in, enlarged the tunnel, and hooked up these wires and it fired right up," and I know there's way more to it than that. Thanks
