You can easy make a 283 to be a tire shredder. But maybe not this one. I had a 67 Chevelle with a 283, with a 480 lift hydraulic cam, double hump heads, performer rpm intake and a 650 holley…it wasnt Lightning fast, but it could do some serious burnouts and it ran 13.90 at the track…
I owned the same car years ago, I reside in Aussieland and it was known to be the only one in the country. it came with a 283 but replaced it with a 454, used to smoke the tire really well. Sadly I had to part with it due to the GFC of 08/09. It was fast with all that horsepower, but my 92 MR2 turbo used to leave it behind, but it was about 1/2 weight and had close to 450HP at the wheels, sadly the MR2 went as well, my chopper and the ex wife, but that was a blessing LOL
@@bmstylee Did it the just the one time, never again. As an old bloke I still look at them, but that's it. I did well most of my life, love them and leave them, but the ex was younger, looked great, was smart, even cleaned and cooked, but was a financial drain. I got married in my early 40's all them years ago, so did have decades of sanity and freedom. But as I always say, good can come from a bad situation, sure the GFC stripped me of everything I worked very hard for, but in a twisted way it opened my eyes, and changed me as a person for the better, I do miss all my man toys, but would not change a thing. I still have a good life, have the best 3 dogs on the planet and love my mint 4.6 Explorer, and stayed true to myself as I promised myself, never to tie myself to a womin again. But there are times special watching this video where I miss my SS Malibu, my never beaten on the street MR2 turbo, my daily driver Ford Falcon GT, and yeah and my chopper, But would never fall into that trap again of pursuing the mighty dollar that provided all the man toys, and that trophy wife.
So we're putting a new grill in an old car. Wow what a New Concept. Hundreds of thousands of Car Guys across the country would have never thought about putting new parts to make their car look better
One of the best looking chevys ever. I have a 65…with a 434ci small block with AFR heads, hydraulic cam 610 lift, super vic single plane intake….580hp and 580ft.ibs, 700r4, Moser 9 inch…. With a 200 shot it ran 10.23 135mph…
My first care whit with 64 malibu Super sport , red w/interior 283 power pack with Muncie 4 speed and power steering. had to sell it when I enlisted in the Air force in 1965. Still miss it.
I had a 64 SS coupe. 283 with a quadrajet. Bucket seats with the 4 speed shifter in the console. Dark blue with a light blue interior. Sold it in '66 when I went in the service. Would love to have it back now, especially after watching this video.
Your next project needs to be mid-late 70's "Smog Era" car from 73-77 and do exactly what you did with these car. The mid-late 70's cars have become the popular build now a days because they are still cheap to buy to do a daily driver/weekend fun car to take on cruise-ins and to cars and coffees, Go find you all a Grand Prix, Malibu, 4th gen Nova, Thunderbird/Cougar, Monaco/Magnum or even a Aspen/Volaire and get it running and pretty it up without spending 25k on it, just like regular guys are doing, to drive to work in during the week and have fun with on the weekend with 8-10k put in it, It aint gotta be perfect, just good enough to drive and look good have fun with.
It would have been nice if you went next door and did a little dyno run, then show us just how much even the little things can create, headers, intake, better carb or in this case fuel injection more horsepower ? just like some of us did back in the day when these were cheaper to buy, not huge gains but also more efficiency too
Brings back memories of my Black 64 it was 1973 as a sophomore I didn’t have my license yet. My Dad had a Sinclair station and I bought the car from a dealer next door who sold a lot of Muscle cars. Got a $100 dollar discount for getting a haircut and paid $900. It had a 400 small block , solid lifters, headers, Muncie 4 speed, 488 gears, disc brakes and interior out of a late model Chevelle. It was a beast and I know it would cost 35 to 50 K to replace.
The Heat Riser causes the part of exhaust gas from the right side of engine thru the intake manifold easing cold driveability and supply heat for the automatic choke. Lubing valve was always part of my tune up procedure.
My dad had a 64 Malibu. Canary yellow, white convertible top, black carpet and dash board, white seats. Bucket seats, T shifter with a two speed torque flight. It’s still running around somewhere near Corpus Christi Texas.

Should have gotten rid of that horrible OLD A/C compressor. Surely a later type of Sanden one would take much less power? and I am sure SOMEONE would have a kit for this car.
I'm usually a fan of this channel and it's build selections BUT, I had a 65' SS back in 85' and didn't realize what I had at the time Sooo this is a disappointment. Using a 283 block is lame. Buy a JY 350 and build a respectable 383 stroker if you want a SBC and go for a BBC if you want ALL the marbles. Even my 65' had a 327 SBC. This is pathetic as 400HP is so yesterday with no street cred anymore. If you want to up your game the 450-500HP is easily attainable without being over the top. The expense of a EFI system on a 283??? REALLY?!?!?😧
I know you guys at Powernation are basically advertising parts and components from your sponsors. But what ever happened to using a little elbow grease to clean and refresh trim parts and chrome, rather than simply replacing it? It may not be 100% perfect, and if more people did that, your sponsors would sell fewer items. But come on...
Why wouldn't we get to hear it run and see a smoke show. Not enough of this anymore on these shows. Its like having cake without icing, don't make sense.
More 2023 episodes: th-cam.com/video/zvkzMjDbM0A/w-d-xo.html
I would have liked to at least hear it run .
These Saturdays shows definitely need to be longer
They even say at the end of 5e show, "Now for me personally, I've been looking forward to hearing that iconic q-jet sound."
Yeah, us too! Jerks!!
It would have been embarrassing to show that after all the hype about putting on fuel injection, they couldn't get the car to run.
It’s a 283. Tire shredder may be an exaggeration
A supercharger or turbo could get it close, but not a carb and exhaust only.

@@DrangeDragRacingTeam1967 Not bad for a 283! Nice work. 👍
Just remember they're only original once, better to smooth and polish the factory parts than to replace.

That's one mistake thankfully I haven't made. I don't have an ex-wife.

I'm sorry to hear that your favorite ride had to go, and your cars as well! 😜
Had a 64 back in 1970 , built a 427 and put it in. Drove it to work in Flint Mi. Took it to the dragway, and called it Black Magic. Great car.
How fast down the 1/4?

Definitely with an upgraded Grill at a run faster I totally agree and let's drop in a boring 350 Chevy in it as well😊
Not a boring as a generic 5.3

Never a good sign when the engine was clearly painted while in the car.

Can't believe you didn't at least let us hear it. Good video none the less.

I truly love this car. It’s been one of my favorite The day it rolled off the assembly line. And this one is an excellent example.
I took my 64 el camino to the OPGI car show last year, it was awesome! I will upload a video of it later to my channel.
Man I love this show💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

@@Darknamja I always get those two mixed up
I chromed all my grill pieces …it really sparkled compared to the anodizing.
Nice car from Michigan
Great brake upgrade there,
Mr.Padslapper. Probably should have skipped that.
my father swapped the 283 for a hopped-up 327 and installed a TH400 with a 12bolt rear in our families 64 el camino
64 is the first year of the Chevelle and the first year of the GTO
Well its a dang shame my name isn't on that title. Lol
Y'all picked the right guy to do the job. Keepemcoming now ya hear?
Hey fellas we wanted to hear the Q-Jet also 😂 great vid !
20fter? Maybe 20+ years ago. Today consider yourself lucky to even be able to afford one of these.
Nice work guys.
I got a foot longer Phillips screw driver if you need it. Lol.
I would have cleaned the inch thick grease off of the control arm before working on it or spray painting the oil pan.
Savages, bend the tail of your cotter pins down so you don’t rip your hands on the later down the line! 🤪
Such a notice 64 Malibu
New intake...283...more power? Big doubts. Headers? Always a step up.
Keep the Corvettte valve covers and ditch the flex fan.
Brilliant video. 🙂
She likes it when I put my thumb on it & wiggle it back & forth.😂
Could you have put a pair of 305 vortec heads and bought different intake and valve covers?
This may sound cliche , but this car would do great with an LS swap .
he said chrome so many times, but it looks like stainless to me
“More horsepower with a EFI”
Drink the cool aid
What would make want to use a fourteen screwdriver for a small job like that.
what air filter cover is that, it looks billet?
Was the fuel pump upgraded to support fuel injection?
Missed Tommy
I've been trying to find restoration parts for the factory AC system on mine, some of which OPGI doesn't carry.
the worse part about changing to disk brakes on the 64 is you have to buy new wheels cause the 14inch fronts won't fit on a disk, at least for my 64
You could get some 17x9 Forgeline OE1's in black. Stock look, not too wide and completely hides the new anchors.
did anyone else's video cut out right when they started it up?
A classic Chevy isn't real unless several of the letters are missing .
problems with long tube headers on 64 some will be too low to ground shop well its hard to fine the right set at times.
hint put boot on before u put end on wire much easlier
I HAD A 64 CHEVELLE MALIBU CONVERTIBLE
what color?
Como me gustaria que estos videos los tradujeran al español
i really want to upgrade the steering on my 64
Say goodbyevto.those rims...lol
Should have gotten rid of that horrible OLD A/C compressor. Surely a later type of Sanden one would take much less power? and I am sure SOMEONE would have a kit for this car.
You didn’t even start it, bummer…
they cut us off kind of soon huh
No audio
Ya lost me at the rusty old rotors.

WTF didn't even start and drive it 😢
yo tengo esta marca de carrito en mi casa lo compre como hot whels y lo queria vender por 20 dólares o rebaja 15 dólares

Ls swap time😂
Urdu main hui please reply ha
Please give Urdu reaching to but give send me
Had 2 64's one a SS.
And where did the A/C compressor go?
