Default 94' Impala-SS

Heres my 94' Impala-SS thats currently under reconstruction. Its getting a 5.3 that has been bored and fitted with LS1 pistons and rods, Powerdyne blower, Nos plate kit(125shot) custom Comp cam, a GMPP carb intake modded for efi w/ 1300 cfm Accel throttle body, ported/polished and shaved 706 heads with bigger valves, springs and 1.7 rr's. Drivetrain will consist of a 4l65-e, 3500 stall, B&M shift kit, Detroit locker rear with 390 gears. Should run pretty good for a cruiser I think.



I'll post more later.

Sounds good so far. Personally, I would not use a Detroit Locker for the street. Who's building your 4L65E?

The trans is pretty much stock, except for the shift kit, boost valve, and billet servos, all of which including the rearend were done at a shop called Traspro here in Lansing Illinois.
