    You must be able to ship and will pay a reasonable price the repair shop is waiting.:ball:

    I believe your replacement must be either a 1965 or 1966 425 nailhead. A 63 425 is different and will not mate to your transmission. 64 was a transition, odd year. Verify with a nailhead pro on this Board whether there is an issue with a 64 mating to your 66 tansmission.

    Be patient because there will be fewer engines for you relative to if you needed a 430 cid.

    Thanks, "Question" do you know if a 1966 olds and a 1966 buick 425 is the same?

    Completely different engines. They are not even the same displacement. Their numbers just both happen to be rounded off to 425. To add to the confusion at that same time Ford made a 425 cid but just called it a 427 so it would appear to be bigger than a MOPAR 426.

    Because it is an Olds it may mate to your trans but all the heating, cooling and electrical hook ups will be different.

    Tmarchtheman --Dennis "wheelz" is great to deal with and he has been around here a long time. The block in the pic is not pretty but they all have to be dipped and cleaned up to some extent. After being boiled they all look the same. So I would not let the looks in the pic scare me.
