79 malibu

Overall, its in good condition... get to cleaning that surface rust off the frame and elsewhere, stat!

Looks a lot like how my interior should have been for my '79 malibu... same color, but it had cloth interior originally instead of the complete makeover of vinal i currently have, no thanks to the previous owner(s).

Just need two floor pan patches but overall
Not a bad car for being in the salt state of Illinois

Is that an L31?

 

[Tuffregal83]

No it's 350 vortec throttle body

That’s an L31. Unless it’s an ls style. Then it would probably be a 6.0.

LS based stuff in vans was started '02 I think.

Good combo for sure.

Either way it’s a good swap.
