I have this 78 Malibu here I've been playing around with. I was originally looking for a 2 door but I found a 4 door instead.

good solid foundation. No rust or really anything.

I got this 350 4 bbl rocket and th350 from a 74 cutlass. Number 8 heads nothing great.......

After about a month or so of problems and weather I got it together. It looks a whole lot better than what it it did.

Now I'm just at the point where I'm putting on headers exhaust and fuel lines. So hopefully now I'll have this thing going before Christmas or so get out here and rear these streets up.

Looks like a fun project that's different than most, that's cool!
 
Back here again with an small update. I got driver's side header in. They're the flowtech ones. So I had to bend the shifter linkage a little to get it in drive.
