Default 1970 Impalarado

Names Phil, Use to own a 79 Camaro Berlinetta, sold it a few days ago to buy a few things for my LS, So I'm swapping a 5.3l into a 70 Impala, the motor came out of a 06 Chevy Silverado..

So far the motor is stock with 65k miles

Mods so far awaiting to be put on:
LS1 heads ( yea I know 5.3 heads can been Ported and polished to flow better)
Decent size cam from comp cams spec: .588/.595 228/232 @.050 112 Lca
LS1 injectors (came with the motor)


Looking for a 02 Camaro SS intake (ls6 intake)
Headers
Bigger injectors so I can run E85

I have some pictures in my NoOb thread and some in "LTE"
my computer is down right now, so once I get pictures I'll post them up starting from the begaining

It's going to be a Lil bit, I prob wont touch the motor till it's in the car, I do know it would be alot easier now but I want to be able to work the bugs out and make sure I wire **** up right, I need to find a laptop so I can have someone tune it

I would like it to look stock, but I'm sure the cam will give it away

With some beauty rings, and small center hubcaps, and just some tires, it will still be pretty unassuming, yet lethal!
