Thanks for the replies guys. I agree Mercury, the most important thing for me right now is upgrading the braking system. I remember when I drove this car back in high school, I would fear going down steep hills because the brakes always felt soft.

I can see that swapping out the motor can bring about more issues that I am not ready to decide on like the transmission etc. (It currently has the automatic). Maybe I should just have the inline 6 rebuilt? It ran fine when I last drove it, but it felt a little underpowered to me. If I can get discs all around, power brakes, and rebuild the six with some performance mods for under $5K, I'll be a happy man.

Rev, the reason I am considering power steering is because my GF has a hard time turning the wheel. I can steer it fine, but I like it when she drives me around in a nice car . But if '66 power steering is indeed lame, I'll stay clear.

Power, thanks for the links...very helpful. Good luck on your first step towards a law degree. I take it you are going to start undergrad right? My advice is to savor the moment. Make sure to stud, but not too hard. You need to party too. I loved college. It was such a blast. I would not mind travelling back in time and doing college again.

However, law school was pure torture. Not that it wasn't valuable. I found the instruction to be quite stimulating. It was my fellow classmates that made like hell. I went to law school on the east coast and the majority of my classmates were from ivy league colleges. The fake attitudes were so thick that one could cut it with a knife. I'd rather die than live through it again. It was a very different experience. I hear most law schools are like that. Feel free to ask for more advice though
