Today we review Keith Jessee's 1979 LS-Swapped G-Body Malibu dubbed the Hoodrat Hotrod. This is one of the wildest cars I have ever drove or ridden in, and is the textbook example of not judging a book by its cover. The car has roughly 600 horsepower and is built to do whatever Keith wants to do with it, a combination of a super fast, well handling, daily driver. You may recognize this car from the Holley Performance RU-vid/Facebook/Instagram as we use it an a lot of video shoots. It became popular when it cooked its engine in the burnout competition at LS Fest East 2017.

I have a soft spot for the Malibu. When i was 10 or so, a friend of the family had a 81 x cop car. Just the 305, but at 10, it seemed like a race car everytime he hammered down lol. That kick down when he would floor it, ill never forget. Got to drive it back then down the dirt roads. I end up getting a 80' wagon years back. Brought back all kinds of good memories of the 80s. Its what got me into cars. My daughter loves when I hammer on it too. And can't forget burnouts, doughnuts.

Nice. I can’t wait to start working on my cutlass again. It’s an 84 supreme brougham four door with a 79 350 Chevy swap. I’m thinking about turning the engine into a 383.

@atomicorang 5 лет назад

I have just reviewed I bet 100 different Malibu youtube videos in all sorts of configurations..drag race, street rod, 24 inch rims and I have one conclusion...You have the best and coolest Malibu G Body. That is my opinion. Thanks and I have watched your video dozens of times, can't get enough and you 2 are rock stars and love your pup...sweet dog.

I ran a TKO 600 in a Fox Mustang drag car and didn't have any kind of hinky shifting like that. What oil is he using? I had fantastic results with Penzoil Syncromesh. No doubts though, he'll love the T56 when it gets done.
