I purchased from Summit this factory fit set for my 62 impala 409 it will fit (big item.... this set fitting your radiator support ) plus the Griffin radiator works -I have one without a fan set https://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRI-CU-00108 Get the measurements on the front of the Borgeson...

I have a extra early 348 pump bracket that I don’t need.

Herb, Is the block a 4422 block or a 0814 -409 block? Paul

I sold the Global West system I had, my frame off restored 62 SS 409 was done and I did not want to drill holes to move the front stabilizer bar. The global west system is over $1600. I am going to try a Borgeson Power Steering pump without the Global West conversion kit. Paul

Just my thoughts - Not a fan of rubber band tires, the white walls on those wheels look terrible - too much white not enough black wall showing to complement/ contrast with the chrome wheel Also not a fan of tubular front control arms - no real advantage over stock arms that I know off, plus...

As I recall the road draft tube on 62's bolts to the bottom bolt on the bell housing . For sure it does not bolt to the exhaust manifold.... I think its shown in the 1962 Chevrolet Assembly Manual with a picture. I did a frame off restoration on this 62 impala 409 car Paul

I refuse to buy another radiator for $ 800 when I have 4 core 409 brass or large griffin 409 style radiator in my 3 -62's I am about to test fit another model Borgeson steering box on one of my 62's (Borgeson changed their design to fit better on 4 core radiators or any radiator ) Measuring...

I would start with the front Addco 1" sway bar like my pictures above -it fixed my 62 and no rear sway bar needed..... those frame mount brackets are the stock sway bar brackets(did not use the Addco frame sway bar brackets) All V-8 cars are have the frame pre drilled from the factory for the...

here his the Addco # 706 sway bar. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aco-k1-706-0u I have this bar on my 62 impala 2 door hardtop 327 motor with factory power steering

Looks like your car might have been a factory 6 cylinder car( GM did not install front sway bars on factory 6 cylinder motor cars.) Buy and install a front Addco #706 - 1 inch sway bar - its a bolt on - works great…. if your car does not have sway bar mounts on on the lower A frames it was a...

I use my converted Sun tach and sender without batteries to race and on the street. Williamsons who does the conversions that are warrantied for life, - told me that the 1.5 volt batteries (compared to the original 1.35 volt batteries ) will run down and read incorrectly all the time - not even...

I know when my friend restored and painted my 4 speed columns in correct flat colored paint, he removed the shift tube to avoid cutting the arms of at the bottom of the column. Paul

A question to all above, did you remove the 3 speed or powerglide shift tube from your conversion with the correct 4 speed collar that replaces the 3 speed or powerglide collar ( powerglide column conversion also requires changing the turn signal collar from a 3 speed column) Paul

Welcome to site..:drive:love1

Cowl tags do nothing to tell you if the car came with a 409, only if the car came with a V-8 motor. A picture of pad on engine block in front of the passenger side head will verify if it has a serial number on it matching the serial number on door jamb. Also all 63 409 engine came with a...
