    help with tpi into malibu

    You can bolt the 700R4 in with an aftermarket crossmember from http://www.crossmembers.com (RCG700). Use a vacuum switch to control the lockup converter, run some 3.42s and still get decent gas mileage :)

    Are you planning to run the trans as well? I don't know if that year F-Body is a mechanical speedo or not.

    Not if you have the car, that's excellent, because you don't have to go hunting for other parts. Is it an auto or 5-speed?

    He may not be made of money. You would spend more money having the machine work done to make it a 350 than you would buying a good 350 core. That being said, if you want to put a TPI motor into a G-Body it's not too hard, but you will need the high pressure pump to run from the tank. There's...

    Digital Dashes

    Is it custom as in someone made a custom housing with gauges, or a stock cluster housing with direct fit digital gauges? Nordskog and Dakota Digital make direct fit sets for the Monte/Malibu/El Camino, so it'd be worth a shot checking those out, but you may have to pull the gauge out of its...

    Electric fan install

    I used that kind of temp. switch, stuck it in the fin at the top driver's side of the radiator, right against the tank. I let the car warm up & the t-stat open, and when I knew the radiator had hot coolant flowing through it I adjusted it to the desired setting. I turned it until the fan...

    Electric fan install

    That's where my temp. sensor is for my gauge. I had an electric fan, but I took it off (had it on there for a couple years without issue) because I went through 4 alternators in a week... everything was fine after I removed the fan. Not to discourage you, but I'm a little leary of them now :?

    Vortec 4.3

    I've kinda thought about Vortecs myself on the Sonoma. It's a '91 (TBI), but I recall something about some being called a Vortec head, but weren't? Do they have the Vortec-design combustion chamber or something?

    rear swaybars...

    Is it a larger diameter than the G-Body bar? I may upgrade to that in the future.

    rear swaybars...

    shrug.gif That's a good question. They don't include the front or rear bars in the kit though. But that is what sway bars are for, to keep the body from rolling. Most cars only have small ones (compared to performance bars) because the stiffer the bar is, the less contact the inside tire has...
