Default impala ss 5.3 06 in a 08
hello


looking like this 2008 impala ss needs a new 5.3. So the 8th digit C on vin matches but can anyone tell me why they don't show a 06-07 fitting in place of a 08-09 ls4 5.3 engine? Reason is there are plenty of lower millage 06 engines & half the price of the 08 with double the miles?


thanks
Greg
