Just purchased a 1965 442 all original except for it has a 1966 425ci.. I'm now in process of doing alot of body work..

 

Welcome to the site, thanks for sharing a picture.

 

welcome

 

I'm looking at changing out the intake and carb any ideas? The motor is a 1966 425 that is 30 over that is all i know currently it has a edlebrock 650 and cast intake on it..

 

What are you plans with the car?
Looks sharp what body work is needed ?

Welcome when you get a chance look up bro442.com

Putting in new pans and patching rear quarters and shooting it with new paint... I have found that 442 bro website its awesome, i have decoded the car it is a true 442

 

Welcome bud Nice car! I have the original motor for that car if your interested in putting the correct motor back in it. Pm me if your interested good luck with your new ride show some picks when it's done would like to see it!!

Thanks Ryan

 

How bad is the quarters good ones are hard to find but possible. I made me own by shaping them with what metal was left witch was a lot just rust holes every few inches check out my build thread for help full tips if you don't know how already.

Depends on what you want to do. I'm not a fan of the original 4GC Rochester, so this is one time I'd recommend an Ebrock carb. 650 is on the small side for this engine - 750 would be better. If you don't want the stock intake, a Performer 455 is your best street bet, again depending on where you want to go with the car.

 

welcome to the site,i have some parts for a 65, if you need anything let me know
