My brother(Tony), and i (Scott): Owner of Reds Hydraulics; have been working on our two different Impalas since 2008. Tony's 96 DGGM was very close to be finished::Everything on his car has been done: paint: interior: suspension; air bags; Stereo; wheels....but kept the stock motor to play around with and rebuild later!!!!


He ends up Buying a 355lt1/560 Hp Long Block
with all the Tricks and AI 220 kit. Canton pan/ arp / Callies crank/ Callies Rods...splayed 4 Main: polished/ported valves, heads, intake and lots of Chrome!!!

God Rest His Soul Tony Dies Feb 17,2011

Scott take over the project and wanted finish off where my Brother started a Sentimental and Memorial project

I though what Nicer?

TWIN TURBO that Bitch...no Money no object,,,w/o blowing up my motor...ASAP;

Advantage performance in Riverside

-so Tad can Live Tune it...Hopefully starting in 6 hours...You see I cant sleep?..i'm Nervous!!! Good Luck Tad

Please make a list of what it needs next?

This motor fells alot stronger and Tons more torque than old one.

almost forgot....

Air Bags were very Unsafe with alot of Torque/power.and the HEAT from the Twin Turbos...my Air Bag lines would POP..when i got on it for a minute. The air lines were too close to the Headers. also popped my AC line a few times...i re-did whole air bag system/ and AC

4 Ply Contitech bags
Stainless steel airlines inside the frame!!!
Dual Air Tanks...molded/Boxed in Front / Rear Bumper (20 Gallons)
4- Viar 480
Wrapped Headers and AC lines with DEI Header Wrap. But Steering knuckle grazed the wrap on the drivers side...so i had to put on HOT ROD style Borgeson Steering knuckles..
Put am ILEVEl Air ride system on...it automatically adjusts air ride,,,when a chuddy firend or GIRl jumps in the ride...its nice...dont have to pull out switch box and adjust everytime...it has sensore on all the arms and automatically adjusts!!
My Iphone and Ipad now controls my switches

I also put in a **** load of gauges:
Dakato Digital DASH
DD Twin EGT
DD BOOSt
DD TWin AFR
DD Fuel Pressure
DD Tranny Temp
DD DUAL AIR temp intake/Intercooler

Am i Missing anything?

I was close, give or take 30k, 40k! I like seein a classic built all out. My answer to why would've benn why not! Our car culture has changed the world several times over. Its uild like this that evolve the culture. I promise u all of us will take some element of this build and incorporate it into our own. #gobigorgohome #somebodysgottahate #layframeandrubber
