Current plan is a carbed LT1 ..
 
I love the 77-88 impala/caprices. I always wanted one and was planning on getting one as my first car but got a cutlass instead. The LT1 should be a nice touch. Any other plans? Overdrive trans and a set of 3.73s with limited slip would be a nice setup IMO.
 
I just rebuilt the th200 that was in it , I will prolly install some 3.42's in it and call it good, I have another 77 coupe I have swapped the body over to a 94 caprice 9C1 frame so it has a police car frame and drive train, that one will have a 4l60e . I don't plan on driving this tan one very far from home.
 
I miss mine every day, I wish I had never sold it. My old dog loved riding in that car.
