Default 1979 Malibu Wagon (denmah edition)

Picked up this GEM! from my friend


game over 6.0 and 80e



first test fit, dropped in 80e and engine, only thing in the way is a lower step, in the bac of the K mebmer, well, i have a plasma cutter so that is nothing haha


plenty of room to drop the pan right down in there now


80e and 6.0 drops right in, so ****** easy, i am in love already haha


made engine mounts that go right into the stock SBC clamshells on the k member out of spare metal


oh ****, going to be a close one!



**** yeah it fits with some intake and hood mods! Under the stock hood!


modded the stock crossmember for the trans, bolted right in!
