Ive found a motor Im probly going to buy for my conversion. It seems to be a good buy for $1200. It has everything with including the PCM and fuse/relay box with 76000 miles on it. I heard it run and it ran good and had good oil pressure. I have a few questions to ask. 1) How do you convert the drive by wire to drive by cable? He already sold the cab so I cant get the pedal and stuff. 2) Also has anyone kept the a/c with conversion? I need to know if the heater box needs modified and what compressor I need to run malibu or the truck. Im sure Ill have more questions but those are the ones that come to mind.

For drive by wire I'm guessing you'll need to get a cable drive TB, the correct cable (granted), have the computer calibrated for it, and you'll probably have to add something to the harness for a TPS.
see, I on the other hand love it. I think its easier to control and it definitely has better response
untill a module, sender or motor breaks. I have drive by wire on my Volkswagen, it broke pulling out into traffic, luckily the car still moved and their weren't alot of cars coming. The car just idled a little higher than usual so i could limp it across the road.
Throttle Cable FTW!!!!

I guess I could just find the pedal and stuff. Has anyone mounted one of these in a malibu? If so can I see some pictures?
I'll get you a pic of mine when I get home. It only took about a 1/2 hour to install and re weld the pedal (the truck has it sticking right into the trans tunnel)
Philip is doing drive by wire, check out his Father/Son build threads. I wouldn't be surprised though if you can find a place that does aftermarket setups for drive by wire.
