This RWD Converted Turbo LS Swap Impala SS is a Super Sleeper! (He Explains How He Did It w/Pics!)

What happens here

The project begins with the acquisition of a 2004 Chevrolet Impala SS, specifically chosen as a platform for a significant drivetrain conversion due to its body style and potential. The owner's previous 2003 Impala, intended for a similar project, was deemed too rusty, prompting the search for a new chassis. The objective is to transform this FWD sedan into a high-performance rear-wheel drive drag car, replacing its original engine and drivetrain with more potent components suitable for drag racing.

Goal: Obtain a suitable 2004 Impala SS chassis for a FWD to RWD conversion.
