The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size car built by Chevrolet for
model years 1958-85, 1994-96 and since 2000 onwards. The 1963
Impala featured rectilinear styling with an engine-turned aluminum
rear taillight panel surrounded by a chrome border on SS models.
Engine choice was similar to 1962, with the small-block
283-and-327-cubic-inch (4.6 and 5.4 L) V8s most popular. The Sport
Sedan featured a new, creased roof line. A new "coved" instrument
panel with simple indicator lights for hot and cold engine
conditions. An optional factory tachometer was built into the
dashboard, just above the steering wheel; it was rarely ordered. A
special 427-cubic-inch (7.0 L) version of the 409 engine was used
in the 1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe, ordered under Chevrolet
Regular Production Option (RPO) Z11. This was a special package
created for drag racers, as well as NASCAR, and it consisted of a
427 cubic inch engine with aluminum body parts, and a
cowl-induction air intake system. The aluminum body parts were
fabricated in Flint, Michigan at the facility now known as GM Flint
Metal Center. Unlike the later, second-generation 427, it was based
on the W-series 409 engine, but with a longer 3.65 in (93 mm)
stroke. A high-rise, two-piece aluminum intake manifold and dual
Carter AFB carburetors fed a 13.5:1 compression ratio to produce an
under-rated 430 hp (320 kW) and 575 lb�ft (780 N�m). 50 RPO Z11
cars were produced at the Flint GM plant.
