my dad and I put a 4 core rad out of a mid 70s fbody in his 78 Malibu to cool the bbc. we were even able to use a plastic flex fan from jegs along with the gbody rad shroud. just had to modify the shroud to fit the larger rad core.
Buckets out of a square body s10 blazer are the same as gbodies and camaro of the same Era just need to change the tracks.the two door blazers fold. The four door ones don't but they can be made to fold. Just change out the side brackets.
great talking to you even thought it was brief. wish i could've had more time to crawl around the monte to steal some of your ideas.but got scooby doo'd by my kids sports. good luck with the rest of your summer events. by the way that thing sounds frickin awesome. i hope my cad motor sounds half...
have you moved the spindle forward any with the new LCA s? usually when these montes are lowered the front wheel looks like its pushed back in the wheel well.yours is nice and centered.
Great use of the boneyard.it used to be that if you wanted something you had to find it in a yard and modify it to fit your car that's when you knew that you were a gear head. I kinda miss that. You were always learning new skills and being inventive and creative.
The 2wd blazer is a direct swap.I think there was a tech article on malibu racing.com about the electric fan swap. I think they were using the fans out of lincoln marks and Continentals.just about any dual fan set will work. Just measure your rad then find one that will work
All 78-81 g body columns are the same. All 82-88 g body columns are the same. Difference is the wiper switch. There are some minor wiring differences just need to look up the diagrams to fix. That being said I think all gm columns from the appropriate years would work if you just need to change...
Malibu doors aND el camino doors are the same. Just the glass is different. Malibu and monte carlo seals should be the same. Check soft seal catalog to confirm
Not all g body door glass is the same. The 87 88 glass is different. Find someone with a hollender to see the interchanges.I know that 78-80 stuff is usually different.
Which a arms did you get? The 8 or the 8.5 inch arms? . I ordered the 8in ones there wasnt any more ajustment and the camber was way negative. Had to get the 8.5 ones

Thanks for the a arm update. I'm thinking of trying a set of 8.5 inch ones on. one of ours. If I do I'll post an update. The monte is coming along nicely. Keep the pictures coming.
Just wondering if you ever got the upper control arms figured out? did the 8 inch arms work out? I'm wondering if I have to reorder the 8.5 inch arms to correct the camber
Car craft did an article using a hydro boost out of an astro van.my dad's in the process of using the astro hydroboost on his malibu.instead of cutting and welding the pushrod he just used aluminum spacers on the firewall to take up the difference between the two pushrods.in the article they cut...
