Hey Guys, I am in the middle of changing my heater core on my 81' malibu without air. The old one leaks, wont hold 5 psi with from a pressure test. Long story short, I have the old one exposed, the one clamp screw off and ground clamp, but it seems like I'm missing a screw somewhere. It wiggles...

Hey Guys, I have been offered a gauge cluster from an 85 monte carlo column shift. I have an 81 malibu column shift and I am wondering how difficult the switch is, not from a "will it fit?" but more is the harness the same? My malibu has just the idiot lights (Right), and the monte carlo has...

I'm about a week away from swapping the 2004r in place of my TH350 into my 81 malibu . It's a column shift car and I want to keep it that way (Love the bench seat).I got the crossmember and frame extension, drive shaft etc. I am more concerned about the stock column shift linkage. Obviously I...

I was in my local pick and pull and I stumbled upon this in a 1998 3/4 ton truck. I pulled it for a whopping $220+tax(too good to pass up). I plan on putting this in my malibu. It's a 1998 vortec 454, 4 bolt mains. Anyone have any experience with them in the g's? I plan on putting some kind of...

I was walking my local U-pull-it yard here in town, and I stumbled upon a 93' caprice LTZ. It has a 8.5", posi (not gov-lock), and 3.23 gears. I looked underneath and its obvious the suspension mounts are totally different from the G-bodies. I can get the complete rear end for $75, is it worth...

I've still driving my stock TH350 in my 81' Malibu until I got the time to put my built 200R4 in, but around town I find the lock up converter is annoying in traffic. Has anyone added an auxiliary toggle switch along with the factory vacuum switch? Will this hurt anything? What i'm looking to do...

Hey Everyone I'm looking for a harness T connector to put in between the OE tail light connectors on my 81' malibu. Does anyone know of a brand that does the older G bodies? I found a couple that use those terrible wire taps and and i'm really not feeling butchering my mint harness. Thanks

Hi all, I hate to bring this topic up again as there are many threads of this but it seems i get a bunch of different answers from everyone. I'm swapping my TH350 to a 200R4 in my 81 malibu. The TH350 is slipping gears and on borrowed time so im looking to get prepared and do this swap as...

Does anyone know if the rear control arms out of a mid 80's caprice are the same as a G-body? My guess is no, but i was wondering if anyone knew for sure. Thanks

I have 81' malibu with a 305, TH350 and 2.73 gears in the rear end on an open carrier. I have a 200R4 that i plan on swapping in it but my question is should I change the rear gears?

I have access to an 8.5" 10 bolt from a 1976 Buick century and I'm looking to upgrade my Malibu's stock 7.5" to an 8.5". My question is will it fit? They look very similar, I am concerned the width and the four link geometry. Thanks.

I am wondering if the frame from a 1984 Grand Prix will be a suitable replacement for my 1981 Malibu 4 door sedan? thanks.
