Will get to my '65 SS this summer (rust around the rear window like usual). Still debating on drive train, would love a '65 340 HP '09, though for cost sake I have 2 options:
327 300 HP & powerglide or a 1966 396 325 HP with turbo 400 out of a '66 Caprice parts car.
In all reality I owned a few 396 325 HP big chevy's and was never really that impressed. I was more thrilled with the 275 HP & 300HP 327's than anything! We will see I guess, also what are your guys thoughts on the 1970-72 400 SBC 4 bolt main motors? I have a '70 Impala custom coupe (daily summer driver) I thought of dropping to mate with a 700R4 trans. Plan to do a route 66 road trip with it from California to New Mexico and back up through Seattle.
