My Malibu wagon build Figured wht better time than now to start a build thread. Car started as a 305 th350 car. I inherited it from a very close family friend. Drove the cr for a few months before the trans went south.
The car
At that time I decided to do a big block swap with a th400,
After sinking to much money into that I changed my mind to do a carbed 5.3 swap. Purchased a motor from LKQ and it all started from there
Removed the heater box and installed a Scott Rod Fab panel
Pulled a lot of the chrome off and painted and plasti dipped a few things to make it look a little better IMO
Started ordering parts and cleaning things up a bit
And then the day came
Lots of help from friends hahaha installing the built th350
Off to finish exhaust and fuel system, running a modified 94 astro sender with a Deatschwerks intake pump.
Kwik performance makes a very nice alt bracket, makes everything else look crappy
Home made trans crossmember
And just about all finished up just minor stuff and I should be golden
