" The only 232 I saw listed said it is for 72-74 (short block). Would
" this 232 fit as a replacement for the 232 in my 66 classic? would the
" head off my 66 fit this motor? They also show a 258 long block, would
" that fit my 66?

1. post-'71 sixes are ~1/4" taller than earlier.
2. post-'72 sixes have v8 bellhousing pattern with starter on dist
   side; earlier have smaller bell with starter under manifolds.
3. some '72-4 sixes still had shaft rockers, not many.  if the block
   isn't drilled for the oil gallery you must rig an external line.

juggling of various parts can make it happen but it isn't a straight
swap.
