What kind of info? There are books available, including owner's manuals, ad brochures, and even an assembly manual. Does it have the aluminum v-8?

You will need your handy-dandy Heli-Coil kits for every screw on the engine. Including spark plugs. When you hear and feel a big creak when taking any part off you know threads are coming out. Be sure to use the correct length plugs or they can even blow out. Inspect all threads. Don

Detroit Iron - DETROITIRON.COM has every musclecar manual on cd.
I just got the updated 64 Buick CD (has ALL 64 Buicks in it) + a Cd for my 67 Impala (67 Chevrolet, all models)

I call up whatever Im working on, enlarge it (so I can work without my glasses) print it out, and go to work
shows you where every nutbolt and washer is.

worth the $30 just for instructions on removing the windshields

I recommend buying the complete wiring harness (21 fuses) instead of trying to save the old one.

you might want to be prepared to heat and cool the bolts that go through the aluminum. some penetrating oil with a few raps of the hammer worked on the headbolts.

I've got the "Wildcat 310" (alum heads) torn down if I an be of any help.
