Details on 66 malibu I bought the car 6 years ago.Pretty much stock.Now it has a 5.3 out of a 2006 suburban.Kept the drive by wire.700r4 trans,2002 firebird 5.7 exhaust manifolds,transdapt adapter kit,stock frame brackets.The hardest part was the oil pan.We used the suburban pan and cut off the lower part about 2" and added extra on the right side.I can still get 6+ quarts in it.Wait4me performance did the computer and I did the harness with the help from LS1 Tech.It didn't take that much time.The paint is Aztec Bronze that I added some copper pearl to to dress it up in direct light.I put the subtle flames on all my cars.Black cloth interior.Before the mopter change with a stock 283 we drove this car to Vegas on Rte.66,Yellowstone and Florida on vacations.Think I'll get some better mileage now!
