Glad to find this forum. Just acquired a 1962 Impala that the previous owner installed a 348. Questions will be coming

Several of us reside in the mid-Missouri area. Several 409 cars among us .

Yours looks to have the V8 insignia/badging on the front fenders. Was she a 283 or a 327 from the factory?

Looking forward to your questions, and of course more pictures .

Cheers! TomK

Previous owner put 409 badges on the front fender and dressed the 348 to clone a 409. I like to stay away from the normal engines. My 62 Nova has a 392 Hemi in it.

 

[La Hot Rods]

Do show us that one.

Nova kool to small blocks were a tight fit in those cars, looks like the wheel wells are gone what front end ? And I’m guessing fender wells headers
