real clean i like it, whats with the heater box? is that a non-AC car from the factory? My A/c/heater box is huge and i want to get rid of it. Yours looks like you have more room.

Originally a air car i changed it over, very hard to find a non air malibu for sure...I looked for years in junkyards till I found one....Def gives more room, if you'll notice the last coil pack is touching its tight for sure but works...

Transdapt mounts, I just used their plate and used the factory stuff for the rest. Pacesetter non egr longtubes for a 98 up f-body fit this car! 350 turbo tranny, stock length driveshaft, moroso oil pan; I didn't cut a thing on this car....

Sure... you just had to go and put those pictures up and make me jealous
My first car was a 78 Malibu with the factory POS 305. I sooo wish I could have done this conversion. You, sir have a very nice car! Drive that biotch like you stole it

Saw your build over on on maliburacing. Really like the build and the wheel/tire choice.
