Re: The 66
Just ordered a set of rebuilt heads from Bug-Patch. Maybe it will be up and running in a week or two.

Re: The 66
Bolted the tranny and shifter back in. All new shifter bushings made a huge difference. The shifter has no slop and goes in to all gears good...so far. Hopefully it is the same on the road.

Re: The 66
The heads finally showed up! Crack free, new guides, new exhaust valves, 3 angle valve job, and flycut. Then I swapped in some HD valve springs, chromoly retainers and keepers. Hopefully it will be running next weekend.

Re: The 66
That's awesome, if you get it running are you bringing it to the non-ynp gtg?
