That should be a fun ride when it's finished. Sharp looking car too. I'm looking forward watching as this build progresses.

I had a 96 Impala a few years ago, but that car was too rough to dump a bunch of money into. It made a great Power Tour Long Hauler though.

Man I love this build. Hopefully this will help my build and dirty94ss is a good source of information as well. Maybe I'll pull that lt lt1 out eventually lol. Keep the updates coming I check frequently. What fuel pump are you going to use?

Now this is a 5.3 Impala SS I can get excited about!
This is what GM should have done instead of the FWD LS4 cars.

No ***** given bumper exit down pipe... perfect. That will make your WG plumbing a breeze, too. Keep the pics coming.
