Default Re: 1965 impala SS 409

Only the early 65's had the 409 as the 396 replaced before midyear. Not sure what part of that story was supposed to be interesting but I disagree with the statement about these cars NOT being popular in the early 80's. Got mine in 78 and it was all the rage.

----The serial # might help if he had included it, and the fuel line is probably longer toward the front of the car if the line is similar to former years. Radiator would be different, now that i think about it. Also, check the front fender callout holes as to weather they are stamped or drilled for the 409, and, of course, the rear-end. All I can think of at the moment.....Bill S
