i need major help

hello everyone in automotive land i am a up and coming automotive freak. should i put an old school 1958 bigblock impala motor in my baby??? by the way shes a 2005

Welcome to AF, are you proposing that you have a 348 engine from a 58 Impala and want to transplant this into a 2005 Monte, please we are all waiting to hear this.

The car is a 2005 Chevy Impala that we have and want to put an old school 1958 bigblock impala motor in the 2005 Chevy IMPALA. Not a monte!

No can do, the fwd architecture would have to be changed to rwd and a chassis fabricated to get a rear axle in place and major mods to install the engine and the appropriate rwd trans, you need a new plan here.

Yea, this I gotta see!!! You'd have to turn the thing upside down and remove everything under it, just for a start.... Would that unibody stand up to the torque?

you need a new plan here.
Like putting that motor in a 1991 to 1996 Caprice or Impala SS:evillol: . RWD and ready to go.

Then what would you guys suggest I do?

Get the idea/fantasy out of your head. You could put any W-body Imp SS drivetrain in it for way less money and one millionth of the aggravation. Next!!!...

Well I am a female now writing this to you guys because my b/f is at home currently....So I don't kno what the hell to do or anything so grrr....

Well I am a female now writing this Don't listen to them it is possible, can we discuss this over dinner ?:naughty:

lets talk bout it on here....so y shouldn't i listen to them

Because you would end up with a car the looks like a 2005 Impala on the outside, and everything else would have to be changed or completely fabricated to make this project work. It would be a huge amount of work, and require a lot more $$$ than it would be worth. Go with the 96 SS.

No they are right. Sorry.:) You would besically have to rip the whole floor out. You know how rear wheek drive cars have that raised tunnel in the floor that goes from front to back of the car, that is missing in the front wheel drive Impala. There is a lot more. It would be a lot easier to get a 2005
-06 V8 Impala SS and customise that maybe a supercharger / suspension / engine mods.

I'll wait for my boyfriend to reply to this....so keep checking on here for his message

all i would have to do is since i am gettin a 58 imp motor for rear wheel drive i would have to get a drive shft diffrent axels posi tract n a couple other things my dad has done it before.
