Aloha guys I need some help buying an engine & transmission out of a 1966 Corvette.1st is the price,The guy wants $3500 for the engine, pan to heads.He said that it is a 425 horse engine with rectangle port heads.What are the letter codes to look for on the engine block.Next is he said he also has the M22 from it & said he wants $1500.First question,On the trans is does it have the C designation on it, if not how do you tell if it is a M22.Also is the pricing for both in the ball park & also I would like a M22 That makes the loud noise.I know this one has the small output shaft,But does it make as much noise as the 1970 M22 with the large output shaft.My friend had one & it was very loud .Any help would be greatly appreciated Mahalo Irvin

Hello Irvin,
The 1966 M-22 Transmission input clutch shaft has no circlar grooves. The main case has 2 plugs in the passenger side in upper is the fill plug and the lower is the drain plug.
You need to get information of the stamping of assembly date and VIN stamped on the rear flange of the main case.
You need to get digital photos of the engine pad and casting part number and casting date. The photos of the transmission as described above.
This will help to see what are looking to purchase.
