Get a 1981 grill, I had a Malibu since I was 15, had it for 29 years now, dig a big hole when I die and put me in the drivers seat, I pulled my power out and put a 300 horse engine back in, I'm not beating on it anymore
What gear ratio is he running in the Malibu?
Olds Pwr You are correct it was designated A for intermediate size.
G "bodied" cars did start in 78.
In 82 the intermediate A designation went to the front drive cars.
Something doesn't make sense he's never heard of a Malibu yet he grew up his whole life watching PowerBlock TV either he's lying or something's going on
I 100% support your choice to carburate your engine.
My brother used to hide the keys from me when he owned that car.
That's hilarious! Ever find them??
MAPerformance yeah, he had them in his pocket. He knew I would take them and drive it
@@portal432 I was that older brother, because I was the "bad example" of a teenage leadfoot. But I was also their "driving instructor" because of my mistakes. My dad was proud of the fact that they never; to this day, had accidents or infractions. We still do the occasional freeway bombing from time to time.
I love how angry people get when a guy puts a carb on an LS.
Like the spark in the combustion chamber can tell what the fuel and air came through.
I've ran both on my LS. When the carburator is tuned right. I can't tell a bit of difference in driving it.
Love the car your setup is very nice l have a 1984 Monte Carlo SS with a LS2 crate engine with CNC ported and milled LS3 heads that l bought in 2008 from SDPC parts center with a built 700r4 transmission with a 3000rpm lockup stall converter it has a GM single plane intake manifold and a holley HP 850 carberator with a 1 7/8 headers and 3 inch exhaust and l also have a Buick GN 8.5 rearend with 4.10 gears your setup is simular it will be fast reliable dependable and last a long time if you maintain it it revs to 7200rpm very fast to the rev limiter with good tires and a setup suspension it should run in between high 10.80s to 11.30s and 11.50s easy on premium pump gas it's enough to embarrass most new muscle and super cars my car has moroso drag springs all around with rear lift bars so stock type suspension it hooks hard with 275/60 15s Mickey Thompson ET street R drag radials and it goes straight it's best quarter mile time is 10.87 at 122mph all motor it runs low 11s all day and if you had the money and time it could go even faster with this setup it has made 15 passes with the slowest being 11.60 my engine makes really good power from 3000rpm to 7200rpm loves to be above 5000rpm it runs smooth as could be to 7200rpm no shaking or vibrations and has been doing so since 2008 love your car and setup good luck with it its got to be streetable and fun to drive enjoy G-bodies rule
My 79 Malibu needs more power 😁 but 5k stall seems ridiculous for the street. I have a t56 in mine
T56 👍
Same !
I wish there was a manual trans option that could handle more than 300 horse that didn’t cost 3 grand on the trans alone lmao
3:44 Turbo 8-second LS sound nothing like this. Long live to NA.
I think a carb motor sounds better. Does anyone else notice the sound difference? Whatever it is carbs are cool dude!
Malibu is a great project car sad because it is a g body car it is still fairly expensive.
Yeah Grand National axle and trans is cheap!
@@Olds_Pwr it’s a g body. It takes 5 seconds of research that the Malibu name was passed on from the a body to the g body.
You’re my hero. Thank you and this is my future fun car. Not all I have to say..retiredUSAF aircraft mechanic.. your car were the cars I would have bought new so I’ve seen them all. Super clean interior and an awesome build. Keep it up.
Ahh I love the carburetor setup, I have a 5.3 lm7 iron block with a 6014 msd box and a 750cfm street demon
I've been in that with Aaron at the wheel. It's nasty loud and fast.
The always asked questions " What size them rear tires" ? "What backspacing them rear wheels" ? Nice car for sure
275/60/15 on a 15x8 4" backspace. Clears the fender by a hair and the inner frame rail by about a half inch.
@@aaronjohnson8771 can you upload more videos of the car or have an Instagram for this car? It's perfect! Got a 79
great video. no BS just how it is. love your attitude its how i live my life give it a try and don't care what others think. build your car for you and don't care what others think.
BADASS BUILD!!!!! The owner seems pretty cool! Made me get in the garage and work on my 1984 Hurst Olds!
One very nice Malibu. Looks really similar to my 87 2dr carpice . Love that he kept it carburetor
This is the coolest looking Malibu of this gen ever, love the nostalgic looking green too.
I love ❤️ it very nice Malibu:) ca king 👑 coche ✔️
LITERALLY THE SAME CAR IM BUILDING! Way cool haha. Wish I could post a pic!
Very nice! Follow us on Facebook and drop one.
I love it! I just put together a 468 BBC and looking for a descent roller to put it in
Sweet ride!!!
Yes it is!!
Kids today on any vehicle... "hey look!... a vehicle!!... let's put an LS in it!" - Me: facepalm FFS!
What shifter is that? Part number? I have a 1980 El Camino with console shifter that's OEM. And what springs do you have on the front end?
I understand you on that I got a 80s Malibu
Anybody who doesn’t think that car is cool doesn’t deserve an opinion.
A super clean, hipo, OG Gbody? Fn rights.
G-Body for the win
No doubt about it, it is cool! I have a 78 classic I bought in high school in 88 and I turned it into a drag race car and I still have it and still ❤️ it 100%!!👍👍 nice car Brother! It sounds like it could eat it’s young!👍👍
That 5k stall is pretty radical. Badass car man
Nice car and build
More LS swapped g bodies.
somewhere it is. lol but here its a g body
Guess it's 500whp that's 600 hp build pretty easy
Good job man that things bas ass I love it . I grew up around cars like that I love the interior and how good they ride as well as the square body look. Thanks for sharing man I really enjoyed it and hope more people start saving cars like this
Cool Old School!
What header , exhaust , compression ratio setup you have on your mally
Wasnt this car in a magazine before? Looks familiar
that thing is sick love the Malibu
What headers did you use for this swap?
This car actually scares pedestrians.
Very true!
Do you mind giving a detailed list of all the parts used in this build far as engine , work done to engine , headers , exhaust, rim & tire setup. Also 2.5 or “3 exhaust ? Loving the stance and sound that’s one mean mally!! Look forward to having similar build but in a 78 Monte Carlo
The car racism, if fully familiar with. I have an antique 27 year old Saturn SL2 with H&R sport springs, KYB GR2's, a polyurethane master bushing kit, ported intake manifold, bigger throttle body, GM 1991-93 header, cold air intake, seibon carbon fiber hood and a MOMO Gotham steering wheel in it. and i'm going to rebuild the engine .20 over hyper pistons, stage one port and polish with polished combustion chambers, run dual intake cams, 3rd generation crank and lower tie plate, mild deshrouding of the intake valves, minor blending of the bowls, 1-2 mm narrow blended valve seats, and ARP main and head studs with a 14-15 PSI of boost, with a MS3 Pro ultimate stand alone engine management! The car weighs 2290 LBS with the Seibon hood and it's a rocket ship even now but it's gonna be downright ferocious when I'm done with it and I get people constantly pooping on the car, it's either u get people who hate the Saturn's, or they love them like a cult following, I'm in the love category and don't care what people think...lol
I love your car those age of cars are great platform
That was really nice guy is cool thanks
I love it. It's perfect for me. I need one in my life.
i want one just like that but black with the wheels polished
I used to have a 5.0LTR 2 door Malibu when I was 17...I was king off the hill cuz non the the young ones back than had that...they was all in to that jappo crap back than...this was in the early 2000s...bought mine for 2 K and had one hell of a youth with it....cuz no one had it at that age....greatings from the Netherlands...22 years later...
God i miss powerblock...
Great vehicle 👌 👏 👍 🙌
1980 Ford Fairmount
Damn. Nice Malibu. Love em
What kind of exhaust is on this car and does it have a x pipe
Wow that is awesome! I have an 81' Malibu that right now as we speak is getting an SBC 305 put into it, later on down the road I want to do something similar with an LS3 engine, GN Trans, Diff, and Axel, but I would still keep the AC. This is going to be a goal I hope to reach.
Nice ! I have a 79 ive owned since feb 98, use to drive my daughter to sleep ,when she was a baby . Today shes 23 & i still have car... big block chevy !
Also the cost of everything for the build. Seems like a lot of power but inexpensive. Definitely a nice sleeper 😎
5000 stall, why?
Because the cam/intake/carb don't start making big power til about 5k. Engine pulls to 7500. It has a lock up in it so it still cruises 70mph at 2200rpm.
Dream car of all time, needs manual swap too... T56 I'd like a ly2..... Old man had a 79 stock but the frame rails over rear end by dog leg rots on it snapped in snow going sideways might want to reinforce it before it breaks but it may only be a salt area issue with those but I guess it was only a V6 but still loved it he fixed frame was a body man
What muffler is on that car
Sleeper.. we had a blue one ..with Gold Doors. And a OMEGA hood emblem.
327 30 over.. built automatic.
Double humps... all stock rear n rear on it. Radical Street ride
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I had a 1979 malibu in highschool had a 350 small block in it. Got the car from a old man who swapped in a 350 engine.
Man that's clean.
What type of headers ?
Quarter mile times for this one 🤔 The more Malibu videos that pop up after watching one the more I miss my 78 ☹
500hp to the tires
I believe it a cool Malibu!!❤
What console is that, behind the shifter? It shows it for a split second but doesn’t look familiar..
Had El Camino dashboard also think theres a Buick and Pontiac on the same platform
Car sounds great!!
Legendary.
I love it I have a 1980 4 door Malibu looking to do the same thing 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
This Gbody is awesome, I love it! Beautiful build.
I'd like a 1979 with a 2JZ-GTE swap
Sweet Ride
Can you tell me where your timing is....the whole.timing graph.....i have the same set up
A TOTALLY AWSOME BUILD!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!
Fucking sweet machine bro 😩
Thanks for watching!!
Who wouldn't want a Malibu like that ? This gives me the thought of doing one of these with Grand National engine and transmission.
Absolute beauty.. I'm hoping to find one soon enough
Still got some pics of thos days man..:D:D:D:D
Not sure of the 'myth and rumor' against the TH250 (Powerglide 2-speed auto), but having read TONS of negatives against them for 'high horsepower applications', I can tell you they can take a LOT MORE than most believe...and a TH250 vs a TH200R4, the Powerglide will beat one on the clock EVERY TIME! I say this, because I had a friend in high school that had a STOCK FACTORY 1967 Chevelle SS that had a 375-hp 396 in it, with an OEM TH250 Powerglide behind it, and IT NEVER FAILED! (though, he did eventually blow the engine)...at 6,000-RPM he could 70-MPH before shifting to high gear, and CONSISTENTLY turned mid-13's (with stock polyglas tires)...so don't believe all the hype...they were MUCH TOUGHER than the lies you read about them now!
The th250 is absolutely not a 2 speed transmission you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about
Wait until you see the new thing where we run the exhaust up out of the hood and along the windshield pillars and onto the roof of the car
can you give me info on the tire and wheel combo ,sizes rim specs offset etc. i have a 79 Malibu and really love the look of this car
275/60/15 on a 15x8 4" backspace. Clears the fender by a hair and the inner frame rail by about a half inch.
@@aaronjohnson8771 275/60/15 at all four corners? thanks for replying just noticed after 6 months...lol
@@johmcerrone3393 fronts are 235/60-15
Awesome ride
Had a Cutlass with an 8.1 liter from Suburban K2500 with the cam we took from an boat it made round 400 horsepower it may not sound like a lot of horsepower from a big ass motor but it was a torque monster the garage burnt down and burnt the car down with it
now let me tell you this I was an awkward kid my own mother would tell you I rarely cried as a baby or as a child but I cried when I seen my car $10,000 wasted only got to enjoy for about 2 months
I understand where you’re coming from. My project that I worked on all through high school was totaled by my old man hitting a buck at 70 mph when he was on his way home. It’s a gut wrenching feeling watching your work, time and money all mean nothing in a few seconds. The project was my gmc stepside truck frame is all bent up and the body from front clip to the cab is ruined you can see it in action on my channel. Was a load of fun the summer I had with it.
Well put friend!!
Did you keep the stock cubes/ crank and just do rods and pistons? What cam and compression??? Have you thrown it on the rollers to see where your at??
It's bored .030 over, stock stroke. Compression was bumped up with the new pistons having a 4cc dome and running a .040 head gasket. Should be right at 11.5:1. Hasn't been on the dyno yet, but maybe we will get to that soon!
Its beyond kool!!!! Nice build.
You had me until LS. Great engine btw. What are those 245 50 15 bfgs. Geez maybe put a drag radial on there.
275/60/15 in the video, I also have a 275/60/15 drag radial for it, but its a street car.
I LOVE IT!!!! THE PERFECT DAILY DRIVER!!!!!
Love the G Body Malibu.
Can we see more raw casual cruising footage ?
I love it!!! I would love it for my daily
Would love to see more of this car!
Those low profile wheels work perfect too 👌🏼
'79 malibu classic my favorite car ever.
Nice boo . Are those wheels steel
Yeah they are just some cheap steel wheels.
Was this in Bloomington, MN. In 2020 on 90th and France
Sure was! I used to live there. Moved to Wisconsin though now.
Fkn sweet motor great build
I like that malibu it original and clean.
Can you do mine like that?
It looks better Black.
💪😁💯🤦🔥
