I found an LT1 350 with a 4L60e transmission on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago. It was still in the car, I had to pull it myself so I had the opportunity to get everything I needed to make the conversion work. With 120k on it, it started in a second after sitting for 6 months without smoking or sputtering. He wanted $500. A Good deal I thought.
I went there today to start taking it apart. Nothing was missing. It’ll look nice once I install it in my truck. Ya, my truck. I’m not going to be finished with the 64 Impala for a few more years so I’ll test the conversion in my 86 GMC C1500. I’ll still have the motor and everything it needs so I can always rebuild it and put it in the 64 Impala if I decide I want the modern drive train instead of the classic car engine.
Stay tuned. I’ve taken plenty of pictures and I’ll do an article on it as well.

Look around and you'll find articles on my 64 Impala restoration activities, how-to articles, a motor book section, and product reviews.
