Funny story about this picture.........while at a Touring Car event a while back.....we had stopped for lunch, and after getting out of the Impala a bunch of Corvette guy's pulled in.......one guy park's next to me and asked what kind of engine I had in the car........I opened the hood and he calls out to his Buddy's........."Hey......He's got one of those L 52 engines in there"...........LOL

I would have to tell you, in order to install the TF33 would require extensive modification. LOL Best bet if you want all the torque is to pull the plastic top motor out and bolt in a 572 -- and it won't need a blower/supercharger.
