New guy here. Have owned a 1979 Malibu for about 10 yrs now. It’s a 305cid / 200M trans. Two of my daughters each drove it thru high school. I got to drive it a couple times here and there. When I could get the keys away from them! Lol. Well, they have all bought their own cars now, and the car has just sat for a couple years. Now it’s my turn. Looking to do an ls swap. Thinking 5.3l with a 4l60e trans. Looking forward to reading everything I can on the subject, as well as finding good parts suppliers for interior and cosmetic items.

Welcome aboard! Thanks for the introduction.
Looks like a nice Malibu. Glad to see that it's still in nice shape after your two daughters got their use out of it.

5.3 and 4L60 sounds like a great idea. Car would be a real runner with that powertrain!
