Hello Ya'll

Not my 1st G -body but one I have wanted for some time now. A G body Malibu. This one is equipped with an 5.3 LSX swap. The previous owner did all the heavy lifting and put together a nice combo/components in my humble opinion.

The swap takes this car to the next level and is a perfect cruiser, especially with its plaid bench seat. Love me my bench seat!

The car just needs to a few loose ends tied together and buttoned up.

Look forward towards contributing and extracting knowledge from here.

Note: While I will use the search button, I will also post questions because I want to interact with people and not Google.

Looks pretty much like the color of French vanilla icecream. Which transmission does it have? Any upgrades to the rear end? We need more details, and more importantly, more pics!!

Pat G spec'd baby cam
TH350 from Jake's
Edge 2800 stall convertor
8.8 rear with 3.55 gears
Disc brake conversion

Are the main things.

My next goals are AC, and lowering the front end because I like the pro touring g bodies.
