My wife was onto me the 1st time she seen this picture at a swap meet.
Now she gets ‘I’m not going to lie to you, and I’m not telling either’ . Why pour gasoline into a fire if you want to put it out hehe.

I'm sure she probably knows what I have in it, I have craft fully named the spreadsheet "Malibu Parts". Honestly for what I have in it, I don't think it's that bad. I know around $4k has been credit card points and break the rest out of the 9 years..... well I need to get this done, that is too long.
*Edit
I have owned it 8 years, 9 months, and 10 days according to the picture I took when we picked it up. 9 year anniversary of a non-running car is Jan. 13 2022. That ain't happening, it WILL run and drive by then and I WILL complete the car by October 2022. I turn 50 and there is no better present than that.

Got out a couple box's I'd bought a while ago. Holley billet rails for the stock intake and SEP injectors(hope I don't regret these, probably will). Installed on the intake today. The Holley rails are a quality piece.
Parts, parts, parts. C7 Z06 fan and radiator showed up, I thin the fan will do just fine running PWM with the Holley. Not sure what to do with the radiator, I probably could have used it if I hadn't set everything up around the current radiator, if it will cool 750hp it would probably be good enough.
Aaaa, radiators are overrated until you hit the track 
What radiator do you have there? A couple of members here convinced to get a CC162, and it works great. I ran a stock replacement for a 305 for over a year. It worked exactly the same as CC162 EXCEPT for the last 1/8 mile at the track. The stock one would work for 1/8 mile hits, but the last 1/8....oofa..... always over 240 and an occasional 245.
What is the part number of the fuel rails you bought? I've been looking at the Holley rails and I have a tough time determining the correct part number, but those seem to be correct for the truck intake.

Using a Summit Brand dual pass radiator, it should be good for what I need. Built by Northern if I remember correctlyAaaa, radiators are overrated until you hit the track

Holley rails are part # 534-244
