After several years of trying to replace parts to save my 57 Imperial,
the rust demon has finally gotten too good of a hold of my 57 Imperial. I
find the only way to save the majority of it, is to find another, more rust
free body. What is the easiest way to pull the engine and transmission? Is
it easiest to pull engine/trans together? Or separate? How much wiring is
there connecting the transmission to the push button dash? The engine only
has 62,000+ miles and runs very strong, a little blow by at the valve guides,
but nothing major. The 392 is good and the trans. has just been rebuilt. Is
there any real difference between a 57 to 59 Imperial? I'm just looking for a
rust free (or as much as possible) body and those 3 years use the 392. I
figure I can use most of the parts off my 57 on any year.
Most important does anyone have any info on a salvage title in
California? I guess that's about the only way I'll find a good body.
I appreciate any info and ideas..... especially if they know of a good bod
y for those years.
Thanks,
Charles in Calif., (northern Calif.)
