He said his has a stock 350 with a powerglide haha I was just wanting yaws opinion on who you think wins? and he wants to do a roll because he cant hook with street tires lol

If the malibu is really stock he could start from a roll and you from a stop and you'd still beat him.

19BLACKBIRD99

Yeahh thats what I was thinking too haha, I would romp on his *** from a roll or stop I think lol my drag radials would give me a big jump on him lol shouldve put money on it lol

I have a '80 malibu with a 350, very small cam, it runs 13.8 at 103 is the best I had it to. I say you have him beat unless he's got good motor work done. I had to upgrade my rear end to a posi trac haha, he most likely has a 1 legger.

from my knowledge of g-bodys (80's malibu's ,m/c's) none of them came stock with 350's so obviously its not stock.

I agree with millersta, I don't believe that you could get a 1980 Malibu with a 350 from the factory (could be wrong). If not then how fast he is will depend on what year and model vehicle his "stock 350" is from. That being said, I don't think that even the strongest running factory 350 will come anywhere close to a bolt-on LS1. Of course people rarely put powergildes behind stock motors...

Sticks n Stones

They didnt come with a 350 OR a Powerglide. Stock those things ran 17 second 1/4 miles with there worthless carbed 305ci engines. Friend of mine had one, we installed a '78 Z28 350, LT headers, full dual exh. w/glass packs, Edelbrock RPM carb and intake, MSD ignition, small cam (216ish duration,.454" lift), electric fans, 3.73's, ?2600? stall, Drag Lite big n little rims, etc.. He ran mid 14's all day long with a best of 14.4 @ 98mph. Point is, unless he has some massive displacement, mid level cam and good heads, or massive heads, massive cam, and good displacement (350ci+), then you are going to walk all over his *** like he was a stock 6 cylinder Honda Accord. Literally, those V6 Accords are mid-high 14 second cars. lol

Malibu's did not come stock with 350's, in fact, very few of them came stock with 305's.. most of them were v6's. I know some pretty fast street malibu's though that run 11's, but you can tell by looking/hearing it

Through 81 they were available with a 350, not that it did them much good:

81 = 229 V6 (110 hp), 231 (3.8 L) V6 (110 hp), 267 V8 (115 hp), 305 V8 (140 hp), 350 V8 (170 hp)

Definitely never a Powerglide though, in the 4th gen stuff. 3-speeds in auto and manual, and relatively rare 4-speeds.

They will hold almost anything under the hood, though, including big block Chevys, Buicks, Caddy 501's, Olds, etc. Lots of space for blowers, turbos and a fat FMIC.

I've always loved those 80s malibus. I'd love to single turbo a forged 347 in one of those. Every time I go to the track I see malibus running consistent times whether the car is fast or slow. Looks like a solid platform for a good drag car.

I surprised a beautiful one yesterday morning. It was bright orange with like a 6 inch cowl hood. It had drag light wheels and some big *** tach. Went from 10 to about 55 i guess. There was traffic ahead but i held his nose about a half a car behind me in that short burst. I have no idea what motor or mods. he had. But, it looked mean. I would say you got him.

TierAngst

That is one very clean looking malibu. But if it really has a 350 and a powerglide I think he is trying to dupe you. If it doesn't sound mean though, most likely it still doesn't stand a chance. I have heard of people running very quiet exhausts on purpose for the sleeper effect but it's very rare.

with little work they can be monsters and launch real well (except the g-body twist) i have a buddy that put a 454 on juice in one thing runs 9's all day and besides the lope of the cam you wouldnt know when its on the street.

19BLACKBIRD99

My bad guys I forgot to post after I raced him, I dont even think you could call it that, I beat him by atleast 5 or 6 cars, lol then later that day a guy came and bought my car lol
