hey guys.. new to your forum. names Kevin and im from nova scotia. im in the process of doing a complete restoration of a 1981 malibu classic landau. had a 267 v8 in it to begin with. i soon got rid of it. i got a 72 350 4 bolt main out of an old school bus had it washed and magged for cracks. once it was found to be sound< i bought an eagle 383 stroker kit for it. i went with a set of edelbrock e-210 heads with a 282 comp roller cam. roller rockers and roller lifters. edelbrock 750 cfm carb and an edelbrock performer rpm intake with a custom built (by me) 3 inch stainless steel exhaust. some say i may approach the 450 to 475 hp/torque range. the car had the body lifted off and i rebuilt the frame fixed all the bad spots had it sandblasted and epoxy primed. from there it had many many(i lost count) coats of gloss black rust paint. every nut and bolt, part and piece is either new or sandblasted and painted. ive still got lots to go so ill be reading for your guys tips and information. ill have questions so thanks in advance for any answers you may give. Kevin
