Update 6/5/11... It's really starting to come along... Slow but sure. Found me a parts tree in the back yard... I pulled the starter out, and its all ready under there to hook up the smaller starter. Had to buy a new battery cable, as the old one was burned against the header. Might...

I did this same thing in a 86 astro van I used to have. I did a powerpoint presentation on that swap. I actually found that powerpoint, and it's here...Hope it helps! Right click "save as" and save to your computer. open with MS powerpoint..Click the spacebar as needed...

I really wish it was the proper cowl hood...lol someone just stuck on a cowl and used about 50 lbs of bondo. I need to replace the hood, but thats the easy part, i guess...lol

Here's some updates... After a little ruckus with the HOA, which I believe to be solved, I can update this build thread. I picked up a set of wheels for her, from a Sonoma GT...I like the look... But, I got them home, and they didnt fit. They were so close, but there was a little lip in...

Are the bottom panels the same from the Monte? Shawn

I have this 99 GMC Suburban...Gas hog, yes...comfortable...Yes... Shawn

When I got my Malibu, The prior owner was honest. He told me he had no idea what was in it. All he knew was it was a SBC. The prior owner before him put it in. I drove her home, and she ran really good. I was thinking 350. I was happy. A few days later, I decided to pull the alternator and read...

Well, I went to look at the SS today. I think I am gonna keep the suburban, and continue working on the Malibu. Besides, the Suburban make a real good parts hauler. :D There were a few things that caught me off guard on it. For example, it has AC, but oddly was missing the passenger side...

Well, what I meant by VIN matched is that it is a true SS, not a clone. Granted the 350 in it is not original, but otherwise, everything is. The suburban has the basic vortec 350. Same one used since 96 up until 99. I believe thats a 1st gen. I wish it was a LS...lol I wasn't aware that the...

I have the chance to trade my 99 2wd suburban for a true vin matching 88 Monte Carlo SS. I really don't need the suburban, and am really tired of spending 400 a month to feed it...But the thing that's throwing me is the difference in the age. The Monte has a rebuilt 350 in it, and the interior...

I have always heard that the most comfortable seats ever put in a GM vehicle were in the newer style 95-99 FWD Bonnevilles. I saw a set in the yard today, and sat in one. It is a nice seat. It looks like it MAY fit, but I'm not sure. My Malibu has the front bucket seats, and the center console...

Here's a quick update...it's 11/26/10. Been tinkering with the engine bay. Went to a swap meet here (its every month) and found a few things... Grabbed this rebuilt Q-jet off a guy who was packing up for the day...Got it for only $40. Not too bad on that. In the picture, you can see the...

I didn't know about the glass filter...That will be coming off there then. As for the fan, i was planning on a temp switch from the same car, and basically wire it to relays. I was also thinking of a small pusher in front of the rad when the ac is on as well. Shawn

I was looking under the hood of my sons 86 3rd gen camaro. It has a 305 and a 5 speed. It also has a e-fan. The thought I had is if it can cool the camaro, wouldn't it also work for the G Bodies? It's a interesting thought, since the rad dimensions look similar. Looks like a bolt on. I may...

So any G will fit? I was under the impression that it was only regal/cutlass for the malibu, and I had wondered why. Shawn

I was reading a bunch of old threads this morning, and I see that no one favors a 305 at all. This is depressing to me in a way because I was planning on doing a little bit of work on my Malibu's engine, which turned out to be a L69 from a 84 Monte SS. I hadn't planned on racing at the track...

Hi Everyone! I'm Shawn, and I live just west of Orlando. I have a 78 Malibu, that is going to be a interesting project for my son and I. I started a build thread http://gbodyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=23827 but, here's a quick look at her at the moment... Hopefully tomorrow, since its...

Well, Here it is...My 78 2 Dr Malibu. My son and I were out joyriding one day (isn't that how all good finds happen?) and came across this car. After talking to the owner who was in need of cash to help out a friend, I picked her up for $475. The former owner wasn't sure if she would make the 20...
