Here's the setup used for the '64 Impala in the big Muscle D Comparison
test at the Goose Point circuit. With it, the car turned a 5:42.50 time.
No doubt this setup could be improved, starting with a switch to a Chevy
400 small block. But it still will be an older, heavier car with manners
to match. That doesn't mean it isn't fun to drive, just be realistic in
your expectations.
