Just joined up, and while I don't have a G-Body yet, I'm working on finding one. I've been searching for a Malibu or other Wagon for my engine project I've been slowly building.
I've always liked the malibu wagons, and while growing up my family had one for a short while. WIsh I had it now.
I'm planning on building a twin turbo 358 cubic inch engine. Nothing too radical, but hopefully streetable.
Here's what I have so far.
Dart Little M Block bored to 4.125
Eagle 4340 3.350 ultralight crank small journal rod size approximate 35lbs.
Eagle 6.200 rods
Crower 00427 street roller cam (It's not exactly a turbo grind but should work OK for the low boost setup I'm doing)
Manley titanium 2.02 Int valves
Manley 5/16 1.625 stainless exh. valves
Manley titanium retainers
Isky Roller lifters
Summit chinese valve covers
JE pistons
McFarland Torklink intake manifold that I'm converting over to fuel injection
I have bought things on sale, at a swap meet, traded or been given everything I have so far.
EDITED to add
I also have a 4.3L V6 that we built the hard way for my father. He wants to put it into his favorite, an El Camino.
We installed a 229 crank into a 4.3L block with a special ground cam from ultradyne/bullet cams. It has a set of ported 229 heads with 7/16 screw in studs, and Crane Gold roller rockers on it.
