Did you just know the saginaw was going to fail and got the muncie or was it like many of us who found out the hard way that they just dont like abuse much whereas the muncie loves it lol broke 4 or 5 Saginaws over the years in mid 70s camaros and whatever came with a 4 speed and always had to swap in the muncie even a stock small block was too much for a Saginaw
Even though time has passed since this was initially uploaded & "My Ol' Lady" is an '81, you could have HAD my radio for free. It's on the rear shelf in the garage...
I had a 78 that I bought new, came with a 305 4 speed. When it was a year and 1/2 old I dropped a 350 4 bolt main w/650 holley carb. Saganoh 4 speed only lasted 3 weeks, then put in a Borg Warner super T-10 and Hurst competition plus shifter. It was a great little sleeper. Oh to be young again.
@@bruceh92 No. There were no overdrive autos at that time; they were still using 3-speed boxes. If you got an automatic, it was a Turbo-Hydramatic 350. The car could be factory-equipped with either a 3- or 4-speed manual box. I think you could only get the four-speed manual in the Malibu Classic (I could be misremembering that, though). I had a new '78 Classic, albeit with the autobox.
beautiful car man i hope i can get mine to look that nice one day is that 396 from the factory too or did u swap that in?, i have a 79 and had the 267 when i bought it at 15, 8 years ago, and we just swapped in a 383 stroker crate motor and converted from auto to a 4 speed from an early 70s camaro i believe. i cant wait to drive it
Little chilly out??? Wtf that's when they run the best...got a feeling that car is a garage queen.its a shame that car should be driven .so people can see it and appreciate it.i would drive the shit out if it.I must say shes a real sleeper.....a real beauty
