As with ALL these shows, the contrived drama and they're ALWAYS under the gun time wise to "finish this build" and everything just falls off the car and magically installs with no issues is just BS. I wish just once they could make an hours long show revealing just how long this stuff actually takes and how many small problems have to be handled to get the final result. I guess that's why they call it "entertainment". And I can't stand Chip Foose's ugly wheels.....
 

Roadkill Garage is slightly better about that.  They have no problem telling you it took them 3 months to do a small item of the build.  It makes me feel better when they show their extreme frustration about something rather than all the parts falling into place.

While doing the swap to a T5 I discovered my 66's engine was swapped with a 5 bolt 64 at some point..  I'm not planning on doing anything crazy with it so the 5 bolt would be suitable.  But if someone had a 289 taking up room around their shop I'd be glad to take it off your hands.  Mainly wanting to buy the bell housing adapter plate with the wide bolt pattern to make it more versatile.  Could the wide bolt pattern adapter be drilled to match up with the narrow pattern similar to the top loaders of the day?  I'm in the Austin and Houston TX area all the time so something nearby or in between would be awesome.

Also looking for a narrow or wide T5 adapter plate depending on the price if you have one laying around.

Would you do $200 for the T5 cross member and spring perches (assuming they fit a 66)?  Local pickup.
