DO !! I sold my buddy a 64 vert years ago, and did dropped a 454 and TH400 in it. It bolts right in to the chassis holes. You just need a new tranny crossmember. We ran one of those tubular universal types...just cut to fit and weld the mounts to the frame. Very, very easy !!! Besides the obvious, you will need a kickdown box for the tranny. The 400 uses a electric kick-down, whereas the other trannys use either a cable or lever. Actually, all you would need to do is rig up a micro switch on the carb, similar to the NOS switches and use that to trigger the tranny. IT would be awesome.
thats what i was tinking it would be "awsome" huh i figure if not stock go all out.... im picking it up this weekend ill post b4 during and after picks as i go but things will be slow....
it comes with a 4 core aluminum radiator and alot of other goodies. yeah im lowered thats what im woried about the most. i dont wanna raise hers but ..... any ideas of suspension upgrades im looking at?
. my 64 im rat rodding ,i have a lowrider screw what everyone thinksOriginally posted by fidy2chevy@Sep 14 2005, 12:13 PM~3812605
Okay now your sayin something, it still aint gonna stop me from doing it though. Oh have you even bothered to read my signature? Im not your typical lowrider at all! I do like my ride lowered but wires are for electrical use only(for now anyways). I mean i like wires but everyone has them.
My thinking is its a SUPER SPORT it should act like one.
Im getting the engine this week end it should be in and humming for sure by the next season. if its done early ill just have to pass my time on the track hehehehe.
if it makes ya feel any better ill put the wires back on b4 i race the gear heads just to add a lil salt
I think that an Impala can be whatever the OWNER wants it to be .... lowrider, lowrodder, hot rod, vintage looker, rusto rod. So as long as Im flippin the bill Im making the choices, but its always nice to get an opinion or two .... thanx for that!
And for my next big trick I'll turn a Delorean into a hopper :rofl:
You got that right...Do whatever you want...Why can't you have a hopper hit 48" and dothe quarter mile in 10 second or less !! :biggrin: Good luck with the 64 and keep me posted on the progress !!! As far as the Delorean, I think it would probably do better as a hopper then it did as a hover-craft !!Originally posted by fidy2chevy@Sep 14 2005, 09:13 AM~3812605
