1978 Malibu Project, 4th times a charm

[Wraith]

Spent a while in the garage this morning to get intercooler piping, blow off, and wastegate mocked up for finality.






One piece to get cut in and its should be ready for welding



Looks like downpipe should be good to start on too




And new lugs came in

Slack on any updates, work and all. Did buy another engine, a 480hp at the crank 383, AFR heads with roller drivetrain, fresh flywheel and clutch for LT T56(one piece rear main style) for $540.

Don't know what I'll do with that but add to the collection

You can ship it to me and I'll let you know when it gives up??

I'll bet it's good for 900-1000whp. 🤷‍♂️

This engine is clean, well built, and fresh. SBC Chevy, should be a 383, AFR aluminum Pro 1 64cc/215cc heads with 2.05/1.60 valves, Comp Cams guideplates/1.60 roller rockers, moly pushrods, Lunati roller llifters, Cloyes 9 position timing chain, Cloyes aluminum timing cover with roller button, aftermarket billet 4-bolt main caps, billet H-beam steel rods, Ross pistons, and every internal fastener is ARP. Once I figure out what cam is in it I can bag it and stash it for the future.
