I just started getting into these G body Malibu's, & yours is really sweet; I also like how you employed the kiss method on the build. I'm looking mostly for a 4 door that I would keep mostly stock, & use it as daily driver, & long trips as well. I'm retired so I don't do any daily driving anymore, & like your tag reads to many cars 8 to be exact, & they are all Chevrolet's. I also want to get a 65 or 67 Monza sport sedan, But I'll have sell 4 of my current vehicles to thin the heard out; Plus 1 more that I want to hold onto a little longer. Thanks for the video, & the content.

Thanks for watching, and glad you're enjoying the Malibu content as well. As far as the too many cars plate, if you are talking about my cars, there's a lot more than 8 around here.

curious if you have a part number for that top street performance oil pan you were talking about, concerned mine might be a problem as i lowered 2" and will likely sit about 2-3" below the crossmember as your muscle car pan does

TSP 81073 oil pan. Check the instructions on the site you get it from. you have to get a different dipstick as well. In my video for my 57 truck, I cover it.

I’m looking to do an almost same 5.3 swap on my 1980 Cutlass 4 door. This series has been incredibly helpful, and the most professionally made videos on the subject. How much did your setup run you in total going the route you did?
@SlowCarFix
@SlowCarFix Год назад
Really glad to hear it's going to help you. I tried to show everything I could think of. As for cost, it can vary so much from area to area, so I don't usually like to open that can of worms. Where I am in, used engines aren't that common. I paid a premium because I bought it running and ready to install. Did you check out the swap I did on my '57 truck? Same idea, just a little different approach on a few things.

Have you done a 5,3 LS swap on a Chrysler? I have a Chrysler 1987 5th avenue. Rear oil sump sits right on the steering linkage. I'm looking for a low profile sump and will probably notch the k frame. Just wondering if youve done something similar.

I have not. I don't have much experience with Chrysler/Mopar stuff. My mom had a 5th avenue when I was a kid. Had crazy amazing seats. Good luck on the project!

@SlowCarFix Год назад
Thanks! Check out my other videos on this car, I cover the whole build. It's 2 1/2" with an X pipe, resonators and magnaflow mufflers. I took it on a 10000km road trip and it was not annoying at all. Had to do the resonators though.
