Beautiful car man. Your build has been an inspiration to me and very informative as well. I'm collecting parts for my lq4 4l80 conversion in my 65 impala. After reading your thread I saw Washington plates on your car. I checked your profile and saw you were in Spokane just like me. Small world. Probably seen your car around town before. Any regrets about your build? Holley pan and trailblazer manifolds working out ok? Thanks.

The best guy to tune your car would be Marty Stromberg. Send me a pm if you want and I'll get you his details. He's the best guy in town for this.

I listened to the video again and I can hear what you mean. It doesn't sound like that in real life, and that was literally the first time it has been run in more than a year. I did prime the oil system before cranking, and got 60lbs of oil pressure prior to firing it off. It starts and runs as smooth as a sewing maching right now.

Not many classic cars look good in white imo, but I think white is the only color I'd want on a Impala like yours. Well done !!!

I don't think the TCU cares what year tranny is, as long as it has the correct pinouts.
Hope that helps!

Driveshaft I am going to be starting the swap on my 65 soon. It's a 5.3l vortec and 4l60e. What driveshaft did you use for your build? My car was a roller so I don't have the stock shaft

What I would do if I was you is get your engine, trans and rear end installed, and get your measurements. Then have a shaft built with the U-Joints that you need for your setup.

I also used my stock driveshaft, and had it cut to length and balanced. I used a beefier U joint to, as I adapted it to the 4L80E.
