Re: 1967 Impala BB conversion
Slightly off target, but I owned a 69 Impala that had an
original 396. It was a non SS original car. Power front drum brakes and THM400. Steve

Re: 1967 Impala BB conversion
Supposably, the disc brake was mandatory on the SS427 cars but not the big block cars in general. However, I have personally found a couple of SS427 Impalas with non power drum brakes.

Re: 1967 Impala BB conversion
Thank you guys ! As a result of your replies, Hans will probably keep the drumbrakes on the car.
I assume putting a BB engine in a fullsize is pretty easy, or is there something he should consider ? Anders

Re: 1967 Impala BB conversion
Outside of possible cooling issues, I can't think of any offhand. In may High School days, we did this swap quite routinely.

Re: 1967 Impala BB conversion
A friend of mine has a 67 Impala SS orginal 396 4 speed car and it has drum brakes and does not have too many issues hauling it down from speed.
 a good source on these cars is www.impalass427.com
