Hello everyone,
Just found this site, impressed by all the knowledge shared and the spirit which it is given by the members. I have a 58 Impala 348 tri original motor with TH350 for a transmission. I have had it since 73, sold it once , bought it back a couple years later. I have driven it all year long since I bought it. Doesnt matter if there is a blizzard outside ,25 deg below, or summer heat and storms. Just a way of life . Actually its been pretty cheap to drive. Collector plates, now I am 56 yrs old, cheap insurance, and can fix everything myself except for the cam problem I will ask for help in the 348-409 engine discussion room. look forward to hearing from you guys and any ladies out there in W land. Dave from Apple Valley Mn

Welcome Dave! You're right, this is actually the board on the net because of the people. You'll love it here.

Thanks Dick. Next task is to post a photo of my 58 , while I ponder yanking out the new cam for one like I had all these years. I have the catalog from Show Cars from here in Mn, what to choose!

Dave, Save yourself some trouble and ask CDNpontiac409guy for some assistance in selecting your camshaft. He will provide a good performance cam without going too big. I'm sure he wont mind giving you a hand.

Hi and welcome to the site. Yes, trust Ronnie's advice on that question. I am trying to figure how to get a whole motor to him. Maybe until I wait for Cecil's next year trip I can get him to transport the motor to Canada .
