I'm switching it from a TH350 to a 200r4. The trans bolted up to the motor and flexplate no problem, of course. Hooked up to the factory shifter linkage also without an issue. Instead of buying the expensive pre-made crossmember, I fired up my cut-off wheel and went to town. Here is what I...

I've been planning this for a while, since my daily driver wagon has not had a working transmission for over a year now. Any reason I couldn't make a T5 from a first gen S/10 with a 4cyl fit into my 79 wagon? I would get the trans, bell, lines, pedals, and hydraulic lines. Anyone ever tried this?

So yesterday my passenger side wiper arm fell off. The lever which goes under the alluminum block which comes out of the cowl has too much play in it, and the spring tension from the wiper pulls it off. So far Autozone, Napa, and APW have turned up nothing. No one makes anything. Anyone know...

I'm new to the site, but not new to these cars. I had a 78 Malibu 2-door a few years ago in highschool, and about two weeks ago I got this wagon off a co-worker. Its a 1979 with a 1981 front clip, GM 260hp crate motor, and TH350 trans. Body is in pretty good shape, except for the "new"...
