Hi Yesterday I took the Impala to Exeltech Auto in Markham. They recentlyl put in the 350 crate engine for me.

If anyone knows of one for sale, any leads, could you please let me know. I'd even rent it from a me...

I've had it out for the last 3 weeks, and have put some pretty fair miles on it. Now, with the aluminum rad, even on the ho...
