Myself and Craig(half-breed) are doing a full frame off restoration of a 1964 Impala Vert. Aside from your typical resto we will be adding a …….you guessed it LS1 into the mix. Anyhow not going to go too in depth here and please don’t question too much of the build as I am just labor I do what the owner wants.
