daily driver thread.... What are you driving?

[Caballero]

I bet that Mustang II can go with a 351. What did it have originally?

Nice wagons. Do they have the lt1s in them? Did any of the Roadmaster wagons come stock without the wood panels? I know the same body Olds wagons did.

My white wagon has the LO3 TBI 305, and the blue one has the LO5 TBI 350. Yes they did make wood delete 93-96 Roadmaster sestates for the US market known as WB4 on the spid codes, WB4 Roadmasters in 91 and 92 were only available in Canada since we did not the get the Olds Custom cruisers that were all woodless in their final years. I'M quite active on the B body wagon forum. I've got a total of five of these wagons,and only four A/G bodies. I only got into the 91-96 B body wagons since I couldn't find a decent clean woody malibu or lemans wagon, my first choice being the 78 wagons since they have unique tail lights, specially the lemans wagon.
I have been toying with the idea of dropping an LO5 TBI 350 from one of these wagons into my 79 malibu coupe.

The 83 El Camino that I’m putting the 500 Caddy in will probably be used to replace it as daily transportation when it’s done.

Is there a thread on this project yet? I have all the parts to do this mod in my 79 malibu coupe, but I'm toying with the idea of a fuel injected 350.

ive been driving this 94 saturn sl1 since i was 21 back in 2000. it had 135k on it and burned oil and coolant. when i was in the army in 2002 i found out if shifted in to netural when someone was tailgating me it would let out a huge grey cloud from the back and the tailgater would dissapear! since then i had to replace the engine and shocks and 2 years ago the transmission went. so got that replaced and now its got 164k on it and ive driven it from 13602 to 60053 and back 5 times. ive been t-boned and t-boned cars with it. YAY PLASTIC CAR!

".....I bet that Mustang II can go with a 351. What did it have originally?....."

It was originally a 302 automatic. Getting the 351 in takes a bit of massaging as the taller deck height makes it tall and wider than the 302.


"......Is there a thread on this project yet? ......" (The 500 Caddy/El Camino swap)

I'm running a build tread in the engine swaps forum.

So far I'm still in the mockup stage. I've swapped a 78 Monte Carlo front and doors on and the engine and trans are sitting in it.

I am still driving the same thing I have been driving for 11 years and 335,600 miles: my 1998 Nissan Frontier king cab pickup. It's got a KA24DE 4 cylinder with a 5 speed manual trans, 3.54 gears, etc. The trans was overhauled at 243,000 miles, but the engine is original. I am on my 3rd clutch (soon to be 4th), and the original lasted 200k miles. Oh, and the truck has been used for pizza delivery since the day after i bought it and still sees 3,000 miles of that abusive driving every month. I am thinking about buying a new car next year (Fiesta or Fit probably), but I don't know if I can ever bring myself to part with my wonderful little truck. It is so solid and so reliable that I doubt I will ever own another vehicle that can measure up.

Here it is on the day it hit 300k miles last year.

I drive a 2006 nissan sentra 1.8 special edition with custom homemade short-ram intake, stainless steel header, custom catless exhaust with a cherrybomb for a resonator and a magniflow muffler, and a few other minor modifications. My recent purchase to accommodate my growing family is a 2005 Saturn Relay3. I really enjoy driving both, but I cant wait to get my malibu back on the road.
