Default new purchase 1966 L72 biscayne

hello folks.

i am brand new to this.

i joined because i recently purchased an 1966 L72 biscayne.

im jumping on this thread because i see that the discussion is about a 1966 biscayne L72....i hope thats right.

anyway, there are a few things that i could use help with, so i was wondering if anyone could help me.

first, i'm pretty sure the car is real, based on the vin, cowl tag and numbers from the trans and rear, so i'd like to register it, if not already in the registry (i guess the follow up is whether or not this car shows up already).

second, though i haven't done a deep dive and taken the interior apart to find the build sheet (if it is still there), is there a way to get one?
third, i will be looking for some parts to get it as close to original as possible.

the motor is not the original as it was said to have been blown in '68 and replaced with a chevy crate engine (i'm looking into the dates and numbers on that but at first glance appears to corroborate in that it is a 512 block)

it is missing some interior things like a drivers visor and dome light but what is odd to me is that it doesnt have a factory tach, so not sure what happened there.

also the exhaust manifolds arent correct and it is missing the idler pulley assembly.

id love to start gathering all of these things to maybe bring it back to where it was, so any help with where to go to get them, would be great.

thanks,
adam
