MODERN EFFICIENCY WITH A LINK TO THE PAST.
INTRODUCTION
The Chevrolet Impala is a mid-size sedan packing nearly full-size family room. It even feels like a big luxury car. The Impala handles well and accelerates quickly when equipped with the optional 3.8-liter V6.
From 1958-65, Impala meant the flashiest full-size Chevrolet, a real working-man's Cadillac, tame in its base form but offering performance options to match its aggressive looks. After '65, the sporty Impala was subordinated to the more conservative-looking Caprice, and eventually the name disappeared from the Chevrolet lineup.
Like its namesake, today's Impala is tame and practical with base-level equipment. However, when ordered with the optional 3.8-liter V6 the Impala is quick. The Chevy Impala feels more responsive than the six-seat sedans from Toyota, Dodge, Ford and Buick. The Impala offers competent suspension tuning, distinctive looks, and plenty of interior room.
LINEUP
Two models are available: Impala ($20,325) and Impala LS ($24,025). Both are four-door sedans.
The base Impala runs with a 3.4-liter 180-horsepower V6. The more up-market LS comes with GM's proven and highly competent 3.8-liter V6, producing 200 horsepower. The 3.8-liter engine is available as an option ($995) on the base model. So the real difference between the Impala and the Impala LS is the level of amenities.
All 3.8-liter Impalas come standard with traction control and anti-lock brakes; ABS is available as a $600 stand-alone option with the base 3.4-liter engine.
WALKAROUND
The Chevrolet Impala looks bigger than it is, thanks to its upright windows and roof pillars and relatively long greenhouse. The Impala is significantly shorter (9 inches) than a Dodge Intrepid, yet it's slightly larger in total interior volume.
INTERIOR
The Impala is noticeably roomy inside, with 122 cubic feet of interior volume. Again, credit the high roofline with relatively vertical sides. The Impala's designers also carefully rearranged the rear bulkhead, and moved the seats slightly outboard. The noticeable distance between the driver and the front-seat passenger contributes to the impression that the Impala is huge inside.
At first glance, the individual seats look flat, like semi-benches, but when you sit in them they provide good support for the thighs and back. They feel like bucket seats. But the front-center passenger has to straddle the split between the seats. A slight hump down the center of the floor accommodates the exhaust; but it also hampers legroom for the front-center passenger.
DRIVING IMPRESSION
The Impala feels like a big luxury car, even compared to a Ford Crown Victoria or Toyota Avalon. The Crown Vic seems unrefined when you drive it back-to-back with the Impala. The Toyota feels bland by comparison.
Handling is surprisingly quick and sharp. This is not the wallowing, live-axle barge from the 1960s. One reason is the Impala's extruded aluminum engine-cradle subframe, a first for the industry says Chevrolet, which isolates vibration while allowing for a more rigid structure. A monster dashboard bulkhead made of light and strong magnesium further enhances to the Impala's rigidity, giving the car a robust feel. The engine cradle and dashboard structure lock the steering shaft down tightly, so there are no excess wiggly movements. Chevy says a novel link between the steering column and the steering gear contributes to better on-center feel at the wheel. Both Impala models benefit from anti-roll bars front and rear, hardware associated with sports sedans.
SUMMARY
The Chevrolet Impala delivers excellent value among mid-size sedans, with decent handling, immediately recognizable design cues, and a long list of amenities. It honors the heritage of the original Impala, without reviving the old car's excessive bulk. But even for a younger generation who never knew the older car, the Impala name will still stand for a great family-car value.

Man! So much chit to remove before you can even start to remove the intake manifold and the intake. This is about a 12 hour job or more. God Bless you man, that's a hard job.
Good job describing what needs to be done to do the job. Good sense of humor too. Thanks

Hey, Why did you torque the rocker arms 24 lbs? The research that I found was 14lbs and 30 degree angle.

Ok when you disconnected the small Green plug from the Coil. On the driver side. Before you pulled the coil pack completely off. Where does that harness go? The other end is a small Blue connector. But can’t seem to figure out where it suppose to connect to.
They make a pushrod tool so you do not have to remove the rockers. Just pry them up & pull the pushrods out. For anyone thats works on 3400 or 3800 engines it is a time saver doing those lower intake gaskets that seem to fail on every single one of those engines

Do you send the heads to a machine shop for a valve job or just to clean them up, resurface the heads?
If you still remember, can you give someone from NJ advice on how to break the bolts on the rear exhaust flange? I've been struggling with these for days now!

You installed the head gaskets upside down. That's why the top parts didn't line up correctly.
