Engine wiring, gas pedal install, fuel pump wiring, Intake tube fabrication.
Projector HID headlight retrofit install, then finish up the little body work I have left, then paint and cruise!

I love it! It pulls really hard! Seems to have great power throughout the entire rpm curve and at any point, if you step on it, it feels like it pulls until you let up. It really makes this big heavy car move!

What would the Impala weigh in @ approx. like 3,800 or more.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-12-2014, 06:22 PM

It sounds very nice! Great work!

Yep, I'm thinking that it is pretty close to 3800.

mud.man.rj · 08-13-2014, 06:57 PM

So would be a good 3-400lbs more than most. But thing is prob mostly for cruising so won't make much difference and way lighter than a truck.

nicke · 08-15-2014, 02:12 AM

I realize I forgot to show the "first start" video!
Enjoy!
