O.K.......Here are some Quick pic's.....and a "Little" Story......I bought this car about 5 years ago, it was a Texas car (Courtesy Chevrolet) and was a completely stock 283-PG, P.S., P.B., Factory Air car...At the time I was going to build a 8 sec Drag Car out of it, but it was a little too nice to cut up so I used it as a daily driver.
After taking the Factory Stock 66 SS 396 Convert on last years Power Tour.....a couple of things were now apparent......#1....A.C. is a must.....#2.....Overkill on the Cooling system is a "Good" thing.....#3.....Overdrive is a "Smart" thing (Averaged 11 M.P.G. and went thru 8 quarts of Oil in a rebuilt 396 with 200 miles on it last Year, but that's another story)......and XM radio is a "Cool" thing...
So......the Malibu now sports new paint, new suspension, 4 wheel disc's, wheels & tires, Sirius Radio (for Radio Margaritaville), Quick Steer Box,406 Small Block,Dart Pro 1 Aluminum Heads, mild cam for the a.c., Alumitech Radiator & Fans, 700 R4, etc.........I was going to put on a ProCharger and Fuel Injection....but....she didn't have any more money in her purse so I decided to stop at that point.......Didn't mean to be so long winded so here are a few pic's
