If you run old school engines they require maintenance same as newer but may entail more than just a oil change more frequent. How many days was it at the alignment shop?
327 is arguably one of the greatest engines of all time. I have some OT stuff that I like, but I would NEVER put an LS in a '63 Impala. Fix the 327. Probably at this stage put head gaskets on it and go another 100,000 miles.
