We can help with these, but it will take a few minutes. What is the VIN Number for the 1966 car and what information is on the TRIM Tag. I am a bit concerned that the car may have parts from a variety of other cars (i.e. a "made up car"). Let me know VIN and TRIM Tag info.
The 5116320 is probably the VIN Derivative of the 1965 donor car for the engine. The AP 4 5 60 is probably a 65 or a 66 and not 60. AP indicates a 4.11 posi rear end for a 327 small block car, with the rear built on April 5 of 65 or 66. You need to check these digits better and report back.

Appears engine and trans are from a 1965 donor car. Maybe the rear also. It is possible that it is a salvage car, so beware and ask a lot of questions. Frame, birdcage, and fiberglass condition are also very important, so have these evaluated thoroughly.

The 1966 car was built around June 1, 1966. So it's original parts will generally be in the March-April-May 1966 time period. Anything outside this range probably belongs to another car.

I would insist on a pic of the Trim Tag or at least all of the info that is on the tag. This will help to ensure the original body color, body build date, and other important info about the car.
There are wolves out there.
