Motor got drop in on Sunday --- We are just finishing up the fuel lines, starter and this thing should be running by Tonight.
Let the smoke machine begin, gonna try to burn off the oil in the exhaust from when the motor let go. Next week it will be at the Dyno Shop get its tune and HP/Tq numbers and then maybe track by end of week to see how fast we can get kicked off the track.

Prefer Cash but PM what you were thinking. I'm not looking to spend any Cash.
Here is a video of the graph from the Dyno Yesterday.
1st Pull : 399 RWHP / 363 RWTQ
2nd Pull : 409 RWHP / 370 RWTQ
20 Hp more then the first engine build in the car.

Looks freaking awesome! Very clean install! Most people just slap a filter right on to the TB and I hate that! Good luck with the sale, some one will get a great car!

My First Choice is Cash!!! If i don't seem to get the money i want for the car i will look at some of the trade offers. I have a lot of time in the car and being so close to be fully rebuilt its hard to let go of it.
Friend of mine was just rear ended in his malibu is mint, we might be getting the mint doors, fenders and hood to install on my bu so the only thing to be done would be Paint and floor pans to have a perfect car.
I will post more pictures of the car before the weekend after we get back from the track on Friday. Lets see what this thing will do. Hoping for 10.9's and then i will be happy.
