Huge Upgrades for the Crusher Impala! Will It Break? | Roadkill Garage | MotorTrend

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Freiburger and Dulcich give some much-needed love to the '69 Chevy known as the Crusher Impala by way of a new 9-inch rear and a less squatty suspension overhaul. The guys also fix a major throttle issue that finally unlocks full use of the supercharged 498ci big block before hitting the road for monster burnouts.

Personally, I am an old retired NHRA drag racer with most of my experience with a 426 HEMI Torqueflite and a 427 / 425 Turbo 400 Biscayne. I am talking 1969-1972. Nothing but fun. You brought back some terrific memories and I thank you again !!!!!

    Many moons ago, (1980) my neighbor got his first car 69 Caprice triple black 427 buckets/console GM exec car. He brought it over for a tune up, so I give it a performance tune and out to Woodward ave. for a real test. I start with the well known upgrade of air filter lid flip,turned out to be a very strong running car. I gave a few others a good spanking to think about. I tried everything to buy the car from him,he drove it away to college and never saw it again.

    If you're running anything other than solid engine mounts that BBC is just twisting the snot out of the stock column shifter linkage. And that's why you're having shift issues. And yes a floor mount shifter will correct the issue plus it's more accurate and fun to bang gears with one and it looks Kool!!!!! But you should still run solids!........ Love the Crusher Imp!

    If that's a TH-400 transmission in that (I'm sure it is) I would pull out the "vacuum modulator" valve, and clean it up. Either that or your "governor valve" is sticking. Either one of those will prevent a TH-400 from shifting.

The factory battery hold down let the battery tip over. the positive post laid on the valve cover and burned a hole and the spark ignited the oil fumes. Both valve cover gaskets blew out and the oil ran over the exhaust manifolds. Now I always use a safety strap.
