Default anyone see this lt1 into malibu before

I have to give it to this guy, pretty creative all the things he did to use a LT1 engine. couple of creative things in there, worth a read. Doesn't look like he finished all the documentation, but he spent a lot of time clearly making it all come together. He calls it the un-LT1.

I don't see the point. Seems like a lot of wasted time.

I applaud the effort, but it seems like a complete waste of time (JMO) when you could just put an SBC in and be done.

what a waste of time and cash. he basically turned an lt1 into a sbc...except he took the longest hardest road in the world to have a sbc in his car.
