Re: GN Powertrain in my Mally....HMMM

Well the car checked out and im doing a wire transfer to a trusted family member so hopefully no one snatches it before i can get the money over there.

The Car also comes with extra intercooler, double fuel pump kit, fresh tires, scanmaster already installed.

ITS OFFICIAL the WAGON BELONGS TO ME NOW

It will be the official heart donor for my 1980 2dr Malibu which will be titled "Project Six Pack" in respects to the V6 that will be going under the hood. Im thinking of getting emblems made the say Malibu X to replicate the look of the GNX emblem.

Re: Purchased The New Heart Donor!!!

FYI as mentioned before this car (not the motor) will be up for sale after the heart transplant, so anyone thinking of grabbing a new project, keep your eye on it.

Re: Purchased The New Heart Donor!!!

I have to say that's the first time I've seen a Malibu with GN wheels. And they look really good. You gonna put them on your 2-door?

Re: Purchased The New Heart Donor!!!

Looks good and clean. How's it running? You should get yourself a fuel pressure guage and a hotwire kit for the fuel pump. The hotwire kit will make sure your fuel pump is getting enough voltage to support some boost, runs off the back of the alternator. Comes with its own relay and heavier wire. pretty sure the newer kits are plug and play. Just took another look at the engine pic, you should also pick up an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
What chip is in the ECM?

Good luck with the swap.

Thanks, I actually havent drove it :shock: Took a chance and had a family member of mine check everything over and pick it up. The previous owner says its a Bullydog chip but he's not to sure on specifics of it. The engine will get a refreshing with a few upgrades for reliability for now. I definitely will have a fuel pressure guage along with a few others. the fuel system will be upgraded also. Ive been reading up on these engines and finding out some of their shortcomings that i will need to address the putting a fresh set of valvesprings in. Its comes with a Scanmaster 2.1 so thats a good thing, and he has a fwe extra goodies also that he sent with the car.

I definitely will be making sure i do this swap "CLEAN" and "CORRECTLY" i want a strong and smooth running car with decent power (Later "decent" will get better :wink: )

And i did read up on those fuelpump upgrade kits. He did however give me a double fuelpump kit he had'nt got around to installing. Also a Fuel Pump Voltage booster from MSD.
