Re: 1980 Malibu (my 1st car)
The car had a 305 in it when I purchased it awhile back. You could tell it wasn't the stock motor, I believe it came out of a chevy pickup. The VIN said it came with a v6. The 305 that was in the car (out of a truck) was in bad shape, leaked oil, misfired, and had no power... alot due to the two barrel on top. So instead of fixing it up, which I had planned, we just went to a junk yard and found a 350 vortech out of a 98 tahoe and swapped it out. We converted to a carbn as well. Many people ask why I didn't put a larger motor in or why I didn't leave the fuel injection... Well, I wanted a car that was easy to drive street wise and yet still have the power to have fun. I just want the car to look great and have a great looking engine. Thats the reason I'm not putting a cowl hood or anything else power wise. I get a lot of compliments on the wheels and color, but I'm getting different wheels and re-painting it the same color.

With the new motor and cleaned up a bit, I could probably sale it for double that. It was already this color, had the wheels on it and exhaust... we just did the tint, chrome accents, and engine swap.
