Almost all the 65 and 66 sheet metal is interchangable. If you put the 65 
fenders on the 66, you will have to use the 65 grill and head lights too. 
The interior will fit in either one, but the patterns are different per 
year. Sounds like you should think about restoring the 65 and make the 66 
the race car. Put the /6 and tranny in the 65. Buy some fiberglass fenders 
for the 66 and all new suspension that can handle the 360. You will need a 
tranny for that. The /6 tranny will not work on the small block. One other 
plus for the 66 race car it the shifter. You can use any 66 to 76? tranny 
and not worry about special linkage to the shifter.
