Oh I agree. Stand alones are pain in the ass and expensive but it is always up to the car owner what they want. Either way it will be a sweet ride once he is done with it.Originally Posted by TwinyTwin

yeah, I have always like the looks of a old school impala. Would also be killer throwing in a vette motor in that thing. Good luck with that thinkfast.
Yeah that is what he is wanting to do but unless that rearend is reinforced like Fort Knox then he runs a risk of snapping something on the rearend. Even then there are still several weak points that can break. Now if it was not juiced then yeah an LS6 would be awesome in there.
fuckit, build a subframe & late model LT1's with tranny's are cheap.
True you can subframe it but it is the whole rear section is what becomes the weak link. To hit the back high or do a respectable three wheel you can't have something with a lot of torque, It will cause that rearend to "wrap" itself up and begin breaking things that will ruin the car. We thought that as well on a '63, Hit three wheel and gave it some gas going through downtown and the left rear broke causing the car to slam back down. It was not pretty.
my boss just came back with the car, here are the pictures
few more
thanks homey, thanks for the tuning advice, might end up stickin with the 327
