Do you need to change the transmission on a 1996 Chevy Impala?

If you have a Pre-1996 (1995-earlier) 4L60E transmission, you will also need to make some changes to the wiring harness inside the transmission to keep from throwing codes. If you’ve already put on a set of extended rear control arms, you should be fine with the stock driveshaft.

Which is stronger the Trailblazer SS or the Impala SS?

The 4L70E comes in the Trailblazer SS and the is marginally stronger than the 4L65E. If you can find a 4L70E, that’s what I’d go for, seeing as the TBSS and the Impala SS and Caprice are in the same weight class.

Can a 65-66 tank be used in a 67-70 Impala?

Note: Many customers use the 65-66 tank in the later 67-70 cars. The early tank is 3/4″ deeper and a few inches shorter in front-to-back length, but will still work in the later cars when used with the later fuel tank straps. Our quick and easy complete fuel line systems includes everything needed to go from the fuel tank to the LS fuel rail.
