Truckdoug's turbo g-body malibu, now with more money lit on fire!

Truckdoug's turbo g-body malibu, world's slowest turbo LS!
whats up guys? I missed ya. I sold the blue truck and started in on another square (white '79) before I stumbled into this '79 malibu.
After some hassles getting the title, I finally paid the guy and drove it home.
look at those wheels! prowlers!
she's got some ridiculous huge cam in a "built" 355, stock stall converter, flowmaster 40 series muffs and 100% stock suspension. This was the coolest car in the HS parking lot in 1991.

Kinda. SBE at least. RonSSNova gifted me some take-off heads from his work and I reassembled the little 4.8 I killed late 2017 with fresh consumables (cam, timing chain, lifters, rings and bearings)
gonna be pretty mild at first to get the suspension working right. comp cam 216/218 just under .600 lift on a 115+3
ls6 intake, stock p59 computer, 80lb dekas and 2 450's. we'll see how far those 80's will go

right now we are selling our house and buying a different one at the same time (never do this ) so I'm trying to get as much done as possible and still keep it running and driving
so I'm working up a fox mustang 8.8 swap axle for it. The last two 8.8 swaps I've done have gone incredibly well. It's crazy how much power the stock parts can handle.
fresh from an 86 GT
starting to zap on it a little
close to done. I think I'm gonna add a half loop over the pinion snout to stabilize the truss bars

If mine doesn't sell before its done, the company building my house will buy it from me at a major price cut,
and I will have to drain every dollar I have everywhere to cover the rest of the down payment and closing costs.
I sleep on pins and needles.
For the rear-end, you should look into a 94-98 mustang GT rear end.
The housing itself is 100% identical to the fox housing. The axles are .75" longer on each side, with 5 lugs and disk brakes.
They're also mostly 3.27 ratio, which goes well with a 26" tire and a 4L80e.

ay cesar whats up my man! knock on wood it makes some of your kinda dyno numbers!
so a couple people have had that problem with pics and my image host...does it do it if you use a switch browsers like from safari to chrome or something?
hey thanks! I'm trying to dress the channel up a little. better editing, lighting, etc.
nice! I love the 60-66 trucks! my '66 LWB was my pop's gift to me for going back to college. I gotta help him swap his '63 here soon
yeah sleep hasn't been so great but IF everything works out we'll be in a good spot.
I tried to find a 94-98 GT rear, in fact did find one, pulled it and realized it was bent a good 4" from the crash that sent it to the wrecking yard
Tell me about it. Mine is up for sale while they build mine.
