My `83 Malibu

A couple of pics of my work in progress wagon. Looks like poo but some good mechanical stuff. Trying to get gremlins sorted out before I tackle the inside and outside.

Looking good, man!
The body appears to be pretty straight and solid. I like your gauge panel..looks great, and very visible. Is that an LT1 under the hood?
Keep us updated on your progress.

Looking at the interior pic again, I noticed an extra pedal and a standard floor shift. What trans is in it?

What kind of fuel system are you using? I'd love to know the details for my LT1 swap.

And is it a 5.7 or 4.3? How do you like it?

Either way I love seeing an LT wagon!!!

They made a 4.3 V-8 that is identical on the outside to an iron headed Lt-1, except for the "4.3L" casting in the block.

That's absolutely correct.
