If you google my username and malibu, you will see tons of pictures of it through the years I owned it. That car was show quality and the attention to detail was very evident. Unfortunately, if I was the last one to pop up as an owner, then that means the two guys never registered the car...

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long absense. Life has thrown many curveballs. Yes I built that car from d*** near scratch and know everything about it. I sold it back in 2011-2012 while I was going through college and just could not afford to keep her (picked up a rod knock). I followed it...

My biggest problem is I one up myself and compete with myself. I had reached a point with the bu that all the systems were working perfect in everyway, ie the ability to get 18mpg while performing in the top of my class in autocross and winning street class bracket racing at the strip. The next...

Yeah i forgot to ask you if you were happy with that trim. I remember you said you had a helluva time finding it.

As of this afternoon, I pretty much sold the Malibu to a guy off of craigslist. He loves malibus and plans on taking mine and swapping in a good engine. He completely fell in love with it and all the mods he wanted to do to his 79' that he is giving to his son is already done to mine. He...

Yeah that garage ain't big enough lol! We got everything in and honestly I think we should have just bought an aircraft hangar.

Sorry to step away for a while. Can't believe its already been a year since the last time I was on here. After the malibu spun its connecting rod bearing on new year's eve, I just had to walk away for a while and its been parked since. Kinda broke my morale I guess. Since then I have...

You rang gents.... And just for old time sakes....FU whitey lol.

Figure that the motor had 2000 miles on it but it was all primarily drag strip racing, 2 autocross racing trips, and lots of street abuse. This build had gotten me into the final race in the street car brackets at the strip before I tore the rear intake gasket which got me DQ'ed for safety...

Sounds like the stories of mellings oil pump castings thinning out turned out to be true. Sounds like the casting has broken loose and the pump is being struck by the counterweight. At the same time the motor is giving all the signs of a spun rod or main bearing. Yeah I had to have my...

On new years eve on the way to work, the malibus motor developed an outrageous knock and metal to metal sound on the highway. The oil pressure dropped from 45-50 psi cruising pressure down to 0. Managed to turn the motor off and coast the car off the exit and to a TA travel center. I...

Picking up the drag radials wednesday. They look good.

:bump:

I'm looking for advice on what size jets to be running on my 350. Specs of the motor below: - 350 bored .010 - 9.2-9.4 Compression - Eddy RPM Air Gap intake - Lunati Voodoo 60103 (.227/.233 dur. @ 0.50, .489/.504 lift) - 1.6 Rockers with 2.02/1.60 valved heads The carburetor I've been...

What I learned from khan, member here, is that shifting at 5000 will throw you back in the torque curve with the 700r4 trans. Best time I ran was when I shifted at 6200 to compensate for the gear drop between first and second. I've got a buddy of mine who's father is going to sell me a set of...

I finally got a chance to upload my racing videos from a month ago when me and my group were at the strip. The first one is me making a lone pass and the second is my malibu versus a silver 79' Malibu. If you listen carefully, you can tell when I hit second gear in both videos. Definately...

Been like that for 7 years now and no problems.

Concerning my fuel pump, what I did was I re-used the stock rubber hanger that held the original muffler. The rubber hanger had a metal bracket attached, so I made myself a bracket that could mount the fuel pump to the stock exhaust hanger bracket. This way, the sound of the fuel pump running...

I set the uppers at the stock length of the original control arms for now. I don't have an angle reader but I'm gonna start at stock setting and adjust from there. The sway bar is from a Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe, so its a stock, but it has always worked excellent for me and is much better...

I thought about welding the axles tubes, but I'm a little uneasy about welding steel tubing to a cast center section. How does this mod make the rear end stronger?
