decades and 10 generations. These attractive, full-size cruisers
and a secure place in the heart of American car culture. However,
others. This wicked 1963 Impala SS Convertible possesses THE
nastiest W-series engine that Ive ever seen.
This wicked 1963 Impala SS Convertible possesses THE
nastiest W-series engine that Ive ever seen. What began its life
as a 409 V8 block (BCN 3857656) was jet washed, bored, align honed,
and sleeved with high nickel sleeves which, along with a 4 stroker
crank, provides 474 ci of thunder. Underhood goodies include a
Holley Sniper EFI system, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads
and intake manifold, internally balanced rotating assembly with
forged Eagle crank and rods with Ross Racing pistons, monstrous
COMP Cams mechanical roller cam with .763 (!) gross intake lift, a
Griffin aluminum radiator with twin SPAL fans and shroud, MSD
ignition, a Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine belt system, and
an Edelbrock aluminum water pump. The assembly of this exotica
resulted in 571 hp and 596 lb.-ft. of torque from a much lighter
engine! Additional features include power steering, power brakes,
power convertible top, air conditioning, automatic transmission,
cool SS bucket seat interior with console, and correct steel 14
wheels with correct SS covers. The owner of this car had a health
issue before completion, so it has been consigned as is. This
strong foundation will allow the new owner to personalize this
monster as it is taken to that next level. If a classic convertible
cruiser stuffed with an exotic W-series big block is your kind of
wild, call the team that can make your dream a reality. Fortitude
required to drive 571 hp with drum brakes not included!
