Revell 1965 Impala SS with a 327

[RDean58]

I needed to get the 65 Impala for the engine for another project (home grown ZL1 69 Camaro). I got a Revell 69 Z/28 Camaro to build it and would have a left over 302. What to do? I'm taking the valve covers from the Revell 64 Impala and putting them on this 302, instant 327! The engine looks small in there.

I have used the victor intake from a Moebius 64 Nova kit and almost have the engine built, but no pics. 

Here is how I'm building it. I've secured a set of Cragers from an AMT 65 El Camino kit and I need to find some tires.

Both cool projects, will be following along. I really like those Impalas. Once owned a '66 SS with a 283!

A 65 is a good looking model…

I like it! Looking forward to your progress.

Great looking body style and yes, the small block looks really small in the 1:1 engine compartment. Remember these cars could take a big block with air conditioning and every other option of the day and you could still change the spark plugs without burning your hands. You did have to be very careful changing the plugs.

Good luck with the build Robert.  Really do like the side profile of the '65-'66 Impala and the Cragers just work on that car.

This should be fun to watch come together.

My wife, nephew and his wife, and I are jetting off to Iceland April 1st, so it may be a while before I get back to this one.
