Looking forward to posting the progress and helping others where I can.
The original engine would have been an inline 6 or a V6, not a 283 which was strictly a Chevy engine in 1966. You'll find forum members very helpful, but I'm sure most of us hope you'll replace that 350 with a V6 as part of your frame off restoration.
