Hi, bit unusual and not sure if in right section but could anyone assist with vehicle history please, just taken possession of a 64 Impala Wagon, the looks are deceiving, someone has put at lot of time, skill and effort into this, but who and where was it done would be nice to know, even if just for future work. Whats its actual spec. Has it seen strip action. I know from photos its hard to tell but can anyone recognise the engine model apart from its a chevy, any info would be appreciated.    |

I can't tell you anything more than it looks to be an LS fitted with an aftermarket Edelbrock supercharger - which would make it a total weapon!

Trying to see what the casting numbers are on the heads but it is too pixelated. Easy starting place is to look at the front timing cover If there is a sensor there it is a gen IV - no sensor Gen III - there are crossovers but we can ignore that. Looks like an ally block so it is not a truck motor. What ever it is I am a massive fan. Nice buy. P.  |

Some truck motors are aluminum. Looks pretty awesome from here.

Hi Voyager. I used to own your Impala when it was basically stock. I had to sell it when my daughter came along and it headed down to Devon. When I had it, it had 2" dropped spindles and cut springs to take it down another 2 inches all round. It had the stock 283ci v8 and 2 spd powerglide box. I saw it come up for sale about a year ago and the guy had carried out a full body off resto mod. Just wanted to congratulate you for getting hold of such a cool car. I wish I could have kept it, but apparently baby seats don't go well with bench seats!!
