Some updated progress 62' Here are some updated pics of my progress on my 62' impala.
All opinions are welcomed.
I am going to use the vetter covers to mold a custom set of covers, with impala imprinted. I still have to finish up a little wiring but the motor and trans are done, they won't be coming back out. The brakes are done. The booster sits really close but it clears, so I am content.
This is the tank I decided to use. It's an aluminum RCi unit. I just cut a hole for the tanks inc in-tank sump unit, capped off the other outlets, and vented it.
A local driveshaft comapny hooked me up on the driveshaft work. They shortened the front, new yoke and u-joints, the added a slip yoke in the rear shaft. It turned out great and for a good price.
Sorry for the blurry pic, but the stance is awesome.
The rims should be here tomorrow. 20x8.5 245/30/20 front and 22x9.5 295/24/22 rear!
Hopefully I can get the radiator in and worked up today. I still need to do something with the P/S hoses and few other odds and ends, then it's time to fire it up.

The first post pics are probably red x's I deleted those pics out of their file.
As requested, here are a few new ones.

Looks great. You can't really tell how big the vacuum booster is but if it's the large one you can pick up a mini to replace it. I like the filler panel in front of the rad. The interior is outstanding as is the paint. The sound system is over-the-top. Nice job.

I plan on slappin a turbo or two on there next year. If the pocketbook allows it.
I believe the booster is an 8". I know there is a 7" but I may end up going hydra-boost.
Again thanks for the nice comments.
If I knew a way, I would do it. Many of the pics are in photobucket.

Looking for any help possible on LS conversion for my 62 Impala I'm new to this type of forum and I am looking for any help possible to convert my 62 Impala to an LS1. I love what you have done to your Impala and would like any information you have to help me out with the conversion. I have not done anything other than researched different sites for information. Thanks for your time.
