I'll be buying my dads 63 impala in a few months. No motor or trans at the moment. I'm really thinking of putting either a 1uz possibly with a single turbo, or a 2jz in it. I would think it would be less fab work for the 2jz, but a car like that might miss the v8 sound. It is a big car, and might require more tourqe to get her moving.
I can pick up a 2jz auto with harness and ecu for about 2k. Then It would be just making the motor/trans mounts, and wiring it up. The good thing about the 2jz, is they make so much bolt on stuff, like headers, and intake.
The 1uz would be fairly easy if I went n/a. But if I went turbo, it will be a little bit more fab work to make the headers and piping for the turbo.
What do you guys think? I'm about half and half right now.
