Get a 1981 grill, I had a Malibu since I was 15, had it for 29 years now, dig a big hole when I die and put me in the drivers seat, I pulled my power out and put a 300 horse engine back in, I'm not beating on it anymore

[@pascalolesen5187]

What gear ratio is he running in the Malibu?

[@terrypikaart4394]

Olds Pwr You are correct it was designated A for intermediate size. G "bodied" cars did start in 78. In 82 the intermediate A designation went to the front drive cars.

[@thecloneguyz]

Something doesn't make sense he's never heard of a Malibu yet he grew up his whole life watching PowerBlock TV either he's lying or something's going on

[@atomicorang]

You’re my hero. Thank you and this is my future fun car. Not all I have to say..retiredUSAF aircraft mechanic.. your car were the cars I would have bought new so I’ve seen them all. Super clean interior and an awesome build. Keep it up.

Love the car your setup is very nice l have a 1984 Monte Carlo SS with a LS2 crate engine with CNC ported and milled LS3 heads that l bought in 2008 from SDPC parts center with a built 700r4 transmission with a 3000rpm lockup stall converter it has a GM single plane intake manifold and a holley HP 850 carberator with a 1 7/8 headers and 3 inch exhaust and l also have a Buick GN 8.5 rearend with 4.10 gears your setup is simular it will be fast reliable dependable and last a long time if you maintain it it revs to 7200rpm very fast to the rev limiter with good tires and a setup suspension it should run in between high 10.80s to 11.30s and 11.50s easy on premium pump gas it's enough to embarrass most new muscle and super cars my car has moroso drag springs all around with rear lift bars so stock type suspension it hooks hard with 275/60 15s Mickey Thompson ET street R drag radials and it goes straight it's best quarter mile time is 10.87 at 122mph all motor it runs low 11s all day and if you had the money and time it could go even faster with this setup it has made 15 passes with the slowest being 11.60 my engine makes really good power from 3000rpm to 7200rpm loves to be above 5000rpm it runs smooth as could be to 7200rpm no shaking or vibrations and has been doing so since 2008 love your car and setup good luck with it its got to be streetable and fun to drive enjoy G-bodies rule

This Gbody is awesome, I love it! Beautiful build.

[@nogarage4473]

Wow that is awesome! I have an 81' Malibu that right now as we speak is getting an SBC 305 put into it, later on down the road I want to do something similar with an LS3 engine, GN Trans, Diff, and Axel, but I would still keep the AC. This is going to be a goal I hope to reach.

My brother used to hide the keys from me when he owned that car.

@@portal432 I was that older brother, because I was the "bad example" of a teenage leadfoot. But I was also their "driving instructor" because of my mistakes. My dad was proud of the fact that they never; to this day, had accidents or infractions. We still do the occasional freeway bombing from time to time.

[@Mikey-wf9py]

Dream car of all time, needs manual swap too... T56 I'd like a ly2..... Old man had a 79 stock but the frame rails over rear end by dog leg rots on it snapped in snow going sideways might want to reinforce it before it breaks but it may only be a salt area issue with those but I guess it was only a V6 but still loved it he fixed frame was a body man

Absolute beauty.. I'm hoping to find one soon enough

[@HP_Club]

Would love to see more of this car!

[@martyjohnsonozarkoutdoors8198]

I love how angry people get when a guy puts a carb on an LS. Like the spark in the combustion chamber can tell what the fuel and air came through. I've ran both on my LS. When the carburator is tuned right. I can't tell a bit of difference in driving it.

Well put friend!! Did you keep the stock cubes/ crank and just do rods and pistons? What cam and compression??? Have you thrown it on the rollers to see where your at??

[@aaronjohnson8771]

It's bored .030 over, stock stroke. Compression was bumped up with the new pistons having a 4cc dome and running a .040 head gasket. Should be right at 11.5:1. Hasn't been on the dyno yet, but maybe we will get to that soon!

What console is that, behind the shifter? It shows it for a split second but doesn’t look familiar..

[@junechris]

The car racism, if fully familiar with. I have an antique 27 year old Saturn SL2 with H&R sport springs, KYB GR2's, a polyurethane master bushing kit, ported intake manifold, bigger throttle body, GM 1991-93 header, cold air intake, seibon carbon fiber hood and a MOMO Gotham steering wheel in it. and i'm going to rebuild the engine .20 over hyper pistons, stage one port and polish with polished combustion chambers, run dual intake cams, 3rd generation crank and lower tie plate, mild deshrouding of the intake valves, minor blending of the bowls, 1-2 mm narrow blended valve seats, and ARP main and head studs with a 14-15 PSI of boost, with a MS3 Pro ultimate stand alone engine management! The car weighs 2290 LBS with the Seibon hood and it's a rocket ship even now but it's gonna be downright ferocious when I'm done with it and I get people constantly pooping on the car, it's either u get people who hate the Saturn's, or they love them like a cult following, I'm in the love category and don't care what people think...lol

[@skeetersaurus6249]

Not sure of the 'myth and rumor' against the TH250 (Powerglide 2-speed auto), but having read TONS of negatives against them for 'high horsepower applications', I can tell you they can take a LOT MORE than most believe...and a TH250 vs a TH200R4, the Powerglide will beat one on the clock EVERY TIME! I say this, because I had a friend in high school that had a STOCK FACTORY 1967 Chevelle SS that had a 375-hp 396 in it, with an OEM TH250 Powerglide behind it, and IT NEVER FAILED! (though, he did eventually blow the engine)...at 6,000-RPM he could 70-MPH before shifting to high gear, and CONSISTENTLY turned mid-13's (with stock polyglas tires)...so don't believe all the hype...they were MUCH TOUGHER than the lies you read about them now!

[@theeoddments960]

The th250 is absolutely not a 2 speed transmission you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about
