LS1 in an 05 Impala SS? I am totally new to the Chevrolet world.
I have owned many cars.. 64.5 Mustang to a 05 Civic Si, IS300, 325i and a few boosted/swapped Hondas. I now own a 2005 Impala SS, what engine swaps can be put into this car?
Just curious, any help would be awesome.
Thanks!

A LOT of work was involved. It's still being finished as I type this.

Not that the 409 monte carlo isn't sick, but for the money spent on that, that guy could have easily bought a z06.
If you want THAT much more out of your LS4 (to the point you are pondering an engine swap), the most economical options are the turbo kit, or just buying a different car.

LOL! Just realized the year of the Impala is 2005. The LS4 should fit in there. It was done with a Monte Carlo and they are VERY similar in the engine department.

Good luck with whatever route you choose.
