I was forced to sell my Malibu!!!! I've had my car for 7years and as I just get started to do the things I had in mind,I'm forced to give up my dreams.

Waxed, vacuumed, shampooed inteior. Thinking of selling my wagon, but I'm torn.
I've got a pile of money in this one, but I think I am ready for a 4 link bantam altered. I will need to sell this one first.

Picked up the 468 bbc, then stopped by Star Performance and picked up the headers, solid mounts and other odds and ends. Will be painting the frame and installing the engine tonight!

 

[LIVE4RDO]

Installed all new tie rods, center link and idler arm. Attempted to install Trans Am GTA steering box, but discovered that it has a different shaft from my Monte SS box. Ordered new U-joint from Flaming River (I have their steering shaft)

As per my wife's, kids' and neighbors' request switch from this:

TO THIS

2.5" with 50 series Flowmasters. Much more civil.

Picked up a set of N.O.S. BFG Comp t/a R1's for next years track days. Now if I could only find as equally as good a deal on some 17's to mount them on...

[Malibu Monte]

Set the valve lash and installed the valve covers for the last time before break-in. All that is left is Lower radiator hose, fill with coolant, Finishing rebuilding my distributer, plugwires, install transmission cooler, fill transmission and rear end. Then she is ready for fire. I am really excited. It is not my first build, but I have done more work to it than any of my other projects and it is my first BBC, first 400th, and first aftermarket rearend.

I did one of my favorite things to do to my Malibu today. I drove it!!! Went out of my way a little to hit the 4 lanes on my way to get my daughter. I was hoping to find a, well pretty much anything to hit off with but, as always, nothing.

A few weeks ago, I was coming home, cruising along around 60mph. I came up behind a Prius, and didn't change speed any, and moved over to the left lane. As I went around him, he was giving me the eyeball with this "Here I am doing all I can to save the world, and you come along messing it up" look. SO, I thought I would give him a demonstration of what some good old American Muscle was capable of. I just ever so gently rolled the throttle down and about the time the old Garrett spooled up, he got to see what a 60mph rolling burnout looked like. I'm sure he had a look of great disgust afterwards, but it was fun.
