* Engine type: The Impala came with a wide range of engines in 1967, from small inline-6s to big-block V8s. A replacement 283 V8 will cost significantly less than a rebuilt 427.
* Condition: Are you buying a brand new crate engine, a rebuilt engine, a used engine, or a long block (engine without ancillaries)? New crate engines are the most expensive, followed by professionally rebuilt engines, then used engines. The condition of a used engine greatly impacts its price.
* Location: Prices vary geographically due to shipping costs and local demand.
* Source: Buying from a salvage yard will be cheaper than a restoration parts supplier or a performance engine shop.
* Modifications: Do you need a stock replacement, or are you looking for a performance-built engine with upgraded parts? Modifications significantly increase the cost.
Rough Estimates (USD):
* Used engine (small block): $500 - $3000+ (condition and rarity greatly affect this)
* Rebuilt engine (small block): $2000 - $6000+ (depending on rebuild quality and parts used)
* Crate engine (small block): $4000 - $10,000+ (depending on brand and specifications)
* Used engine (big block): $1000 - $5000+ (condition and rarity greatly affect this)
* Rebuilt engine (big block): $3000 - $10,000+ (depending on rebuild quality and parts used)
* Crate engine (big block): $6000 - $20,000+ (depending on brand and specifications)
These are *very* rough estimates. To get an accurate price, you need to specify the exact engine you need (e.g., a 283, 327, 396, 427), the desired condition (rebuilt, used, crate), and contact local suppliers or online sellers. Checking online marketplaces like eBay, Craigslist, and specialized classic car parts websites will give you a better idea of current prices in your area.
