Can anyone help me ID this Chevy straight 6 in my LV?

Are these stock for a 66FJ45LV?

I need a gas pedal assembly. I might try to adapt a later FJ40 pedal but I'd prefer to find a stock part... anyone?

Here is the PO BuggerFab...

230 Chevy, 3.8L inline six was used by Chevy from 1963-1974 in cars and trucks.

I have that engine in my 1963 Bel Air

You questioning Poser?

I wasn't, but if ya want to start some s*** I can question his yankee ass.

 

[Gumby]

You should know better than to question Yankees. They even have internal combustion down there yet?

 

[Bear]

Didn't Texans invent "internal combustion," what with all the frijoles and hot chili they like !

 

[woytovich]

How do the 45LV door panels come off? Are the "buttons" just push-in thingies... twist... unscrew?

 

[1tontoy]

On a '64, they are push in thingies made out of metal.

 

[Gumby]

Best to get behind them and pry on the clip. It's easy to rip the door card.

When I visited ACC a couple weeks ago I was told their goal was to have their work on their client's LV finished in time for the LV's 50th b'day.

That isnt a clients. Thats mine now, and will be for a long time. With No mud in the frame rails (thanks Henry). For that matter both 45LVs at ACC are mine.

Back on topic... Yours looks like a great starting point for an LV project.
