Hello from Tulsa

[Chellman910]

Hello everyone, just joined the forum. Been looking for a first gen Toronado for a while and finally came across a good project. Just waiting on the transport to arrive next week. It’s a 1966 sold to me by the late original owner’s cousin. It’s been sitting covered in their shop since 1975 when it dropped a valve. Overall great condition despite the engine. They had another 425 out of a 67 that I’m taking with it. Haven’t fully decided on a plan for the build, but I’ll leave that discussion to a more relevant thread. In the meantime I’m looking forward to reading up on all the knowledge here. I’m a pretty young guy who’s only recently taken the dive into classic cars in general so any and all information is welcome and appreciated.

The 67 engine has C heads which do have better flow. Of course the car would be worth alot more if you just rebuilt the original engine and the original heads can just be worked.
