New owner of a decent 81 Malibu 2-door. Original V-6 car. Supposedly has a 383 small block (but I'm not sure how to prove that yet) and a TH350. Car has a lot of little things that need attention yet the platform and drive train seem very solid. No rust!
Long term goal is to turn it into a reliable and comfortable cruiser suitable for "Drive & Drag" events. Probably build an LS to install down the road. Maybe even add a bit of boost to the picture as well.
First I need to figure out the best transmission choice to make it highway friendly. And any hints on rear end gearing would be welcome.
I did not have anything to do with the car's paint color but honestly it's growing on me.
