    A true time capsule indeed :awesome: Was there a Boyz II Men or Seal tape in there when you got it? :lol:

    Reverse vs. standard rotation just defines which direction you mount it (which direction the engine turns it). As far as manufacturer I won't attempt that one.

    F-Body LS1 pan... fits???

    Do you know of anyone else using those mounts and having issues? I likely have quite a bit of time before I get an LS motor...

    http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1007064 I was under the impression it didn't (those pics are with the trans out as well), said he used Car Shop Inc mounts. I think he's talking about these: http://carshop.carshopinc.com/product_info.php/products_id/74328/LS1GM

    I would use the darker red (oxblood I think is what it's called), it would go a lot better imo. The regular red would be too bright for your color I think.

    5.3/4L60E Swap into '80 Malibu

    I know what you mean... I've fixed a whole bunch of hilljack things just on my '81, and that's the rustbucket :P

    5.3/4L60E Swap into '80 Malibu

    I'm almost willing to bet they burned because of a grounded wire that wasn't on a fuse, because it was routed across a sharp metal ridge ;)

    Round basic gauge to round w/tach question

    You're welcome ;) One reason I know this is because I switched mine to gauges and half of them freaked out the first time I turned the ignition on, turns out part of the plastic for the circuit had separated and some of the copper was all corroded to #$@^. I picked up another circuit board...

    help with tpi into malibu

    I already had the 350, it was sitting in the barn for about 7 years before I built it this past spring. The difference between building a 305/350 and a 383 is you have to start doing custom work to the block to get things to fit. The total cost to build my engine the way it sits is about $700...

    Round basic gauge to round w/tach question

    I'm pretty sure it's plug & play. Since it has everything that's going to the proper spots, it'll basically be going from a switch (on/off) to a potentiometer (low/high). I would take the guide off the site for reference, and just check for continuity to those wires. If everything lines up...

    help with tpi into malibu

    As far as a sending unit goes, just use a TBI Monte sending unit with the TPI pump, all bolt-in :) Just make sure the rest of the fuel system can hold the pressure. I'm not discounting the performance of a 305, they do perform fairly decent given their size... but when you can put nearly 100%...

    help with tpi into malibu

    You're the one that brought up the displacement argument :lol: I wasn't talking about what you may already have. My point still stands, if you go out looking for an engine, it's not cost-effective to get a 305 over a 350 from a performance standpoint. Period.

    is it a 2004r or a 700r4?

    I keep forgetting about the 200 #-o

    is it a 2004r or a 700r4?

    If it's stock with a 2.29 it probably won't be overdrive (far as I know Malibus never came with o/d transmissions), and the corner slice is a TH350, 2004Rs are more of a funky shape, like the TH400 is (funky, not the same shape). It may be a TH350 with lockup, which would sound like an o/d...

    5.3/4L60E Swap into '80 Malibu

    Not to mention he's in MI ;) It's about an hour & a half drive for me :D For you... closer to 3 hours probably :P Also, his site is http://www.howellefi.com. I'm pretty sure he used to actually be in Howell (only a half hour drive from me).
