It is a 1968 4 door model. Came orginally with a 327 but has a 350 now.
I'd like to put a 427 in it.

WAS the only thing I had to get to work in. Since I last wrote I have found 
out that water is getting into the oil.  I rode my bike to work until I 
could get the insurace things worked out and now I'm driving my truck.

I know that deal.  Trying to get an Impala in anyones garage is a near
maricle unless that have their own shop.
