63 chevy impala ss 409 launch

[p0rkt0thech0p]

Is it just me, or does the timing sound slightly off?

[Judocraft]

fucking beutiful car man, keep it up

[clockwork624]

bad ass sexy sounding exaust

[kbrailsf]

thanks for not being mexican to that beauty

[1970CamaroZ]

All i can say is.

"Giddy Up Giddy up 409"

[carcrazychevyguy63]

Any vids coming soon?

[spartus09]

I'm a Plymouth guy but my jaw always drops at the sound of a 409. This is the best one I've seen on the 'tube.

[upandabove567]

nice car but wheels suck

[STIRKDAWG]

Nice car. Wrong weels in my opinion. Anyway, when it comes to stuff like this, I was raised a hot rodder but when it comes to Impalas, I prefer the "beaner" variety. Again, it's just my opinion but I'd rather hot rod / 409 / tub / drag race a different body style. *Props to the hot rodders & lowriders but this will FOREVER be a lowrider's body style. Now notice how NICE I was so don't start being MEAN and insulting me ...

[Dual500]

With exhaust cutouts that's EXACTLY how they sounded and ran back then. I guarantee it - I rode in one many times doing burnouts. The dual quad 425hp version was one baddassed street car.

[Dual500]

Lovely and thanks for sharing a launch. In 1964 I was 11 yrs old and rode in the passenger seat of a black 1963 Impala SS 409 with 4:56 posi., headers, cutouts, mallory dual point distributior and hood scoop with dual air filters on the carbs. I've read setup like that they were close to 500hp.

With the street tires on it - uniroyal tiger paws it would do monster John Force style burnouts through 4th gear.

He ruined me for life! There is no going back. It was awesome!

[Hitman04neptun]

Damn that sounds good!!

[imjustpassinthru]

That engine has been worked on. They didn't sound like that coming out of the factory back then.

[myersprostatus]

hell yeah, a true impala, none of this low rider BS!

[prebooomer]

I put a Hurst speed shifter into my 62 409 and it drastically improved my ability to hit all four gears at the track......if you havent tried one go for it, if you can find one anymore.....Andy

[rsalaamcu]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[lugnut49]

sweet, sweet , sweet 63 sounds super & lookes even better A+

[1Colburn]

very sexy. i have a 63 with a 350. any idea why it hesitates when i step on the gas, maybe carb needs tuned or new plugs?

[om3gadagg3r]

@1Colburn Maybe secondaries are opening too quick. check, carb, timing, depends. There are tons of forums with troubleshooting info.

[Hype679]

That thing's nasty... What'd you do to the engine? Sounds like it has a racing cam slapped on.

[TheWhisperingTruth]

"She's so fine,my 409.." My late father talked about those cars and the motors they had back when they were brand new,409's,426 Hemi's,etc.He said that an Impala like yours (409 4spd dual quads) was the fastest car he had ever been in.I inherited his '67 Impala when he passed away.2dr fastback,Bolero red/red interior,283 w/ Rochester tripower,powerglide,posi.Truth­fully,I would rather drive a classic car than a new one.Keepin' it old school.Thumbs up.

[krzone81]

where is the best place to get reproded parts for a 63 impala ?? i just picked up a 63 to restore .. love your 63' thanks

[cwferguson221]

@krzone81 try and avoid reproduction parts if at all possible . What I used to was buy whole cars for the parts that I needed , then resell the donor car.

[matt921]

thats how there suppost to be built not that low rider bull shit that ruins that car an fame.

[barmtrail]

I remember my brother picking me up from school in Pomona,CA. with his red 63. 409 4 speed hurst. Red interior. White powder paint on the headers. I never see that anymore.) I wonder what ever happened to his car? This was 66 to about 69. I remember he was always fixing his 2 piece drive shaft in our garage. Banging that thing all night!...LOL

[Motorfordtoyota]

ohhhh, I love it!

[eviltrucks101]

sounds awsome

[KI4OBH]

Evil, Wicked , Mean , and Nasty !!!

[maccrazyg5]

Epic

[mrblockboii]

sounds like fuckin truck lol nice

[canine2]

Yeah, it's a chevy...and yeah, he's a chevy owner

[chevy59impala]

Nice sound !!!!!!

[impalagurl78]

dont be so mean

[Dav123xyz]

Yep.

Sounds like a fairly wild pair of cams in that(?)

[aaronrister]

it's a push-rod v8, only 1 cam.

[Dav123xyz]

Both banks run off one central cam??

Makes sense I suppose, i never realised though.

Thx.

[aaronrister]

no problem, I always wondered what push-rod v-8 meant, then i looked into it.

[torafoss]

man, that thing sounds nasty. in a good way

[tah24]

finally an impala wit a purpose. i love low riders and these are perfect for making them but if i had one it would be american muscle like this one. this bitch is a beast that can't be tamed. good job on this car bro keep it coming. when i get me some money im goin to buy a 64 and a 63 i know this one is a 63 but i would take da 64 turn it into a beast like this one and turn da 63 into a low rider but without hydraulics both would be weekend rollers and a 85 chevy c-10 for da week days

[indiantaco32]

nice...finally somebody w/ an impala that aint all beanered out

[jmoney321123]

hahahahahahahahaha nice

[acesneights1130]

@indiantaco32 That's pretty offensive to Mexicans. And hilarious.

[NWpowerhouse85]

That cam....good grief, to a non-car fan, that would sound like it's ready to stall out haha, what a bad-ass machine

[alamrisa]

dude that was baaaaad

[catphish454]

nasty old bitch...awesome car...

[NobbyBinks]

Wow, brings back memories, I had a 63 belair back in the late 80's. 396 with the pipes dumped under the rear doors. Quite a few of them were imported into Oz back in the day

[spliter541]

[trebdude1]

holy. that thing has rabies! angry, angry sounding chev.

[smallblockpower93]

That 409 just about picked the front wheels up! I love it!

[joeypill7]

[2007dvx400]

hey u got yourself a keeper its unfortunate that motors arent made like that any more and how hard it is 2 find a 409. great motor and car. CHEVY ROCKS

[Auggie56]

I LAUCHED my 69' RT down the lot at work, one night. The boss called me at home, and asked me if I liked my job ? LoL

[shawnbigpimpin26]

lol does it sound stock lol u dum ass

[2doorcoupe]

Is that stock?

[Huffy1956]

Mine pops rear diff under hard take off,did you change from stock or low gears?

[no409]

yea, ive blown many rear ends. its stock rear with 4.88`s in it now. putting in a 9" with 4.33`s, and both upper control arms

[Huffy1956]

I'd love to change to 9 in. ,but it's all stock so I don,t want to screw that up.(numbers car)check the project I'm on now at Huffy1956

[tonyf686]

i just got a 64 4 door, its got a 305 that i wanna switch to a 409, any tips?

[no409]

yep, have lots of money. 409 stuff is crazy priced right now

[jelaten]

Sounds and looks incredible, nice Chevy.

[hammerogod]

The 409s were under-rated HP wise for insurance reasons.

Most of the 409s were rated (or advertised) as having from 340 HP to around 400 HP (with a few 425 HP versions avaliable) ...but in reality when an average factory 409 was Dyno-tested the HP was over 500 HP. (that's 500+ stock HP).

[beeba77]

I'm in love!

[grabba73]

missed the 2nd, that car is awesome, it takes couple rides to get used to those monsters. Just bought a 4 door 63

[royroldan09]

[Brezee83]

what cam do u have in that 409 what are the speck? it sounds good

[billybadazz11]

u think it is hard to shift that try power shiftin my truck

[catphish454]

she's a beauty...409 sounds hot..

[acres90]

sounds like a chrysler at start up

[bigblockimpala]

Very nice, Sadly I'm doing a frame of restoration on my -64 Impala 4dr ht 409.

I want to drive it Now!

Have you done anything to the engine?

My streetracing friend optimized my heads and I've got 2 1/2" dual exhaust and those who know says it should give 15% extra to my 340hp.

A few more would be nice, but I don't wanna risk the engine.

[topflightss]

thought the 409 had 409hp? hm.. or is that the dual Carb version..?

[bigblockimpala]

409 hp was only -62, and with dual carbs.

(Beach boys sang about that engine).

-63 and -64 had 340hp, 400hp with single 4bbl and solid lifters and 425hp with dual 4bbl and solid lifters and special cam.

Thanks for asking

[no409]

409/409hp is 62, 425 hp in 63-64

mine dynoed 585 at flywheel with single 4bbl

[no409]

13 to 1, solid roller cam, heavily worked heads, single 4bbl, holley 850dp, switching to Walden 2x4 intake. 585 hp at flywheel

[acres90]

nice...atleast it diddnt turn out to be one those low rider piece of shit

[sasquatch440]

hey, what does that giant star on your barn mean? i see them all the time out in the sticks and was wondering. i see them in red,black,and gold.

[topflightss]

[scoticus01]

sounds like it doesn't want to idle.

[THEHAPPYGERMAN]

[tommylord]

When you get the shifter working, I want to see/hear some vids riding in the car, rowing through the gears.

[trumpetgraffiti]

[427BELAIR]

[bigblock4speed]

You drive like Timmy's Mom.
