1965 Impala - Motor Finalizing [Chevy 283]

[@Cheva-Pate]

The car, the engine look’s very good, now you have the best car ever built!

[@hectorraigosa7149]

I gave away basically everything you added. Intake, carb and fuel pump, comp cam etc etc.. probably 2k worth of parts to youngster doing up his 66. I modified a 69 350 alternator brakets for him also. Helped him do his 350, originally 300hp.. now we believe 370

[@BajaZay]

Damn wish you knew me and gave me that stuff hahahaha

[@robertmontoya5727]

So sick love it just bought a 65 impala 327 not here yet but damn you did so amazing on this machine props to you! Hopefully i can make it sound like yours

[@primusheating1]

[@stephenlacher587]

[@martin2560]

Gorgeous

[@adamscott1138]

You’re doing well son. 💪🫡❤️

[@bartsarton2212]

I love seeing the 1965 Impala SS builds. I have one too. Looks like you have done a great job so far with this one. Btw, the glass bottle on the driver's inner fender is meant to hold extra windshield washer fluid.

[@BajaZay]

Ahh that’s good to know and thank you for the support. There is much to smooth out and I was confused by the secondary bottle I thought that was overkill to have a second receptacle for windshield washer fluid but that make sense. Too bad the bottle came out the clamp when I had it at the shop to get tuned so I need to buy another 😤

[@rickyrunner7619]

looks like my Impala nice

[@JoeSwobodzien]

Nice motor but I would have went with a msd street fighter hei distributor like the one I got on my 355 in my 65 I'm excited to c the car when it's done I hope your going to leave on the caps and whitewalls like your dad had 65 Impala are becoming rarer and rarer every day

[@camaro75ricamaro51]

need to remove the fuel line from heater hose, looks great . jeff

[@AtomicDog58]

Do me a favor on your carburetor goes to black plugs in the front of the carburetor the one that is the highest goes to the distributor the lower 1 is manifold vacuum The upper one is distributor vacuum try that out✊️😎

[@BajaZay]

[@luisgardea2629]

Hey man, your car looks dope! Can you make a video on the grill is supported to the front clip as well as the way the window regulators are positioned? Im working on mine and can't find a good source to rely on. Thanks!

[@BajaZay]

Yessir I’ll try to get that out soon

[@moosestangls5099]

Nice car I have a 66 an doing the same in a way but I went ls 6.2 just to have fuel injection. I'm building mine for my dad as well my grandpa bought one new but anyway I can help I'll send pictures or something

[@BajaZay]

Hell yeah can’t wait to see it

[@frankp5587]

What’s up man just wanted to know I bought a 65 I was decoding the vin what’s a good place to get the accurate info

[@BajaZay]

Online there are different websites. Just google “1965 Impala vin decode”

[@reality-winner5759]

Have you noticed any issue with vapor Lock

[@josecampos9625]

I have a 65 ss too, hoping to start my build here soon, what did u use for a transmission?

[@BajaZay]

Kept the factory 2 speed power glide

[@clutchxtricks]

How much did you spend all together? Got myself a 65 and want to do cam and some head work already have headers and 4 barrel eddlebrock

[@BajaZay]

Cam / lifters / springs / timing set about $450 . Head rebuild $450 so about $900

[@clutchxtricks]

Also beautiful build i want to do the gloss black with red interior as well going to be doing everything myself i hope it turns out anything close to your build!

[@clutchxtricks]

@@BajaZay totally worth it thank you for that 🤟🏼

[@BajaZay]

@@clutchxtricks yeah take your time. Make sure you thoroughly inspect the motor before you install any cam. Take a look at the cam bearings. We found out after the fact the cam bearings were falling apart and it’s hard to see without a boroscope tool which you can get in that plugs into your phone on Amazon for cheap. So the motor in the video had to be taken back out. But we decided to go with a bigger cam and swap to a 350 block with a fresh rebuild. I’ll do a update video here soon

[@joeswobodzien7536]

Strange location 4 the pcv small block Chevy r in the r/s valve cover

[@BajaZay]

It’s been fixed I had it wrong
