1978 MALIBU "PROJECT TUMMY TUCK"

[80ELCAMINOFLAKE]

If you had a Roller It would have The retainer and guide plates and roller lifters. Your block looks like it is set up to take a roller cam,It's not too hard to round up all the pieces.

Ahhhh i see, sweet thanks for the info and pics... :wink:

Woke up today and me and Rick "Gbodynation" went at it.. We hooked up da malibu, we had some little problems with the timing but one phone call and we got it on deck!! Man she sounds way better!!no smoke no nothing, real strong.. He inspected the motor and said i have a real good street motor, a hooked up mild 350 with a cam, i guess he knew by the push rods and lifters...so i got a hella of a deal.. i need to take off all pulleys, water pump etc.. and start painting...make it look decents..heres some pics
