Hey guys , I referenced this forum quite a bit the last couple months while doing an engine swap in my 80’ malibu . It’s been really helpful and informative so I finally decided to join . Just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the information

Welcome aboard! Nice Malibu. You wanna tell us more about it?
It's got a little Joe Dirt influence going on.

Thanks guys ! I had a 79’ when I was young that had an olds 350 rocket installed by the previous owner . I loved it !, I had aquired two parts cars and had purchased a lot of new stuff and a freshly rebuilt 4 bolt 350. Then life took over and I stored it in a garage on my family’s property after I got married and it sat for years . I found this current 80’ about two years ago and got a nice deal on it , it only had a 6 cyl but in my mind I had every part I would need to make it what I want . This was what I found when I went to inventory my parts. So I kinda started from scratch, got ahold of a 400 sbc and then after destroying the 200 metric on my first test run I got a th350. It’s still a work in progress but it’s running pretty well so far

Thanks for sharing some background about the car and life in general. I assume that's where the car spent it's time until you rescued it from it's years of hibernation. Keep us updated on your progress. Looks like a nice project.

It’s actually the garage where I thought my old malibu and parts were , it was all stolen. Sorry for the confusion. These are pics I have of the new one so far and yes it might be a little joe dirt inspired longroof haha
