https://gbodyforum.com/threads/trying-to-swap-a-b-body-rear-into-the-monte.5002/ I see he hasn't been around in a long time, so has anyone else given this a shot? I'm about to trade an engine stand for an '80s 8.5", so I guess worse case scenario I could just turn around and sell it.

Here's the thread for the 383 I plan on building for the truck... hopefully I don't forget to update it :roll: Plans (for now at least) are to use the TBI heads already on it, run a 454 TBI unit, and most likely the GM roller hot cam (218/228 @ .050", .492"/.492" lift). Where I am so far...

I think I saw a couple last year in Flint... my dad e-mailed me the pictures. I think they're B-Effin'-A, and absolutely love the one about red, white & blue :D TBH half these quotes give me chills, it's an era we can always be proud of 8)

Has anyone used their H8056 line of headers? I may just go for a new set instead of cutting on the ones I have to get some more ground clearance... the ones I currently have (Hooker 2451) scrape the collector over speed bumps. The description on Summit says 'Maximum ground clearance for cars...

So I have pics of it up on a couple other forums, and realized I hadn't posted them here :oops: I was up in Michigan for Christmas with family. While I was up there (freezing my balls off, as I have every winter the past 27+ years) my dad & I made the first step to getting the '78 drivable...

I'll probably update this more as I attempt to consolidate the info from various posts I've made. I'll start with mechanical linkage for a traditional Saginaw/T-10/Muncie. Some of this info I got from t5montecarlo's site (http://www.garage-scene.com/t5-into-ag-body/) so I give kudos to him of...

And... here are the pics :) My '80 'Bu was originally gold.

It was Saturday & Sunday. Didn't make it Saturday, made it in the afternoon Sunday after work. A friend of one of my buddies... mean, mean Regal!

I still haven't started on this thing, no room for it to sit apart in the barn yet :( I picked it up just after Christmas '07 (as in my dad & I drove from MI to MO 12/27, got back home 12/29). So far all I know is that it was a fairly decent optioned v6 car (a/c, delay wipers, and power...

Warning... a lot of pictures :lol: I finally got the Malibu running Wednesday :twisted: Have to wait 'til tomorrow (Saturday) to get a pair of pipes bent to attach the headers to the rest of the exhaust, but besides that it's basically ready to drive (just have to put the shifter boot...

Got it at a local yard for $100 :D I got the ductwork, but didn't get to grab a couple little things because the yard was closing for the day. The odometer says 60k, and I'm willing to bet it's 60k original. I made sure to grab this stuff too. Looks almost new except for a little more...

I already have a build thread going over at Malibu Racing, but I figured I'd put it up here as well. Original thread (started last spring): http://maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic ... 57&start=0 Resurrected for this year: http://maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic ... &start=132...

I'm trying stuff like this in the '81, then using what I learn when I rebuild the '78. Instead of having a shifter handle that comes up and arcs back, I plan to use a bracket to move the entire shifter back, and use spherical/heim ends to take out the slop. How it was positioned...

My tach was reading inaccurately, so I finally did some research and did something about it :D I'll have to give kudos to the author of the how-to over MCSS.com too, I based part of it from his how-to, and a couple threads I read at ThirdGen.org. Mine basically outlines how you can test it...

Anybody know what's going on with the site? Phil doing more updates?

I rarely post here (usually on MalibuRacing.com), but I thought I'd stop over with a few pics. I'm currently in the process of pulling the motor back out to do rings (drove it as a major smoker last summer :P). Motor is basically a Vortec 350 long block with a Comp XE268 cam (224º/230º @...

Hello all :) Came across the site recently, will slowly become familiar with it. I'm a regular poster over at MalibuRacing.com. Car: '81 Landau Malibu Classic Originally was a 267/th350 combo and 2.29s. A previous owner had installed a 305, and the 350 trans was toast when I got it. Came...
