    Thinking About an LS1 Swap Into '80 El Camino

    As the subject line says. I am contemplating this swap. My car/truck search turned up only a few prospects, including the El Camino. I have to go back to the dealership and see if they're selling it. It's stuffed in the back of the building with some other cars that I guess are not...

    I've Been Thinking........

    ........about my old Malibu as of late. If it's really languishing behind some garage and what the kid told me isn't BS, I think I might buy it back for the parts, rebuild the 305, and stick it in my S10 when the 2.8L decides it has had enough. Just a thought though. Would be nice to see what...

    Got Another Daily Driver

    In the beginning of December I was t-boned in my Ranger on my way to work. I never got collision for my insurance so the other kid's insurance company paid for the value of my Ranger. It took a while to set everything in motion because the accident happened close to Christmas and you know how...

    Automatic transmission to Manual transmission Swap?

    :?: :?: Has anybody here done this with the 78-87 Elkys? My Ranger got totaled a couple of weeks ago and I have been looking for a replacement. I saw an '83 Elky with a 305 and TH200 transmission. I started thinking that if I can find a place to work on it, I could get an LQ9 and a six speed for a...

    I Guess I Ain't so Crazy After All

    A year ago I sold my '78 Malibu for a light duty pickup truck. People around here, including my mom, thought I went nuts, but I needed something to do work in and I don't have the money to pay for three vehicles. A few months ago my friend was toying with the idea of getting rid of his '67...

    My Old '78 Malibu Tales.

    My old Malibu wasn't a bruiser of any sort. It had no kills under it's belt. It really wasn't anything special when you sat down and looked at it. It was just a plain low-buck 4-door Malibu. I originally bought the car in 1996 with a cracked 427 BBC and TH350 combo. The engine was fried, so...

    LS1/LS2 Conversion

    I am not really knowledgeable with the later model vehicles. I am fairly young with an ol' skool mindset. When gas prices began their assent in '01 to where they are now, I began wondering about modding my '78 Malibu for better mpgs. At first I thought about getting an Edelbrock Pro-Flo EFI...

    I Sorta Messed Up, Plz Forgive Me.

    Almost a year ago I sold my '78 Malibu for an economy V6 pickup. Since then, I befriended the girl who bought the car. I have a feeling that I will be working on the car again, so I joined this forum because I have a lot of tech questions. The Malibu was stock except for a rebuilt Rochester...
