  • This is the first real "vlog" I've done on this channel. I thought I would give everyone a run down on my 1979 Chevy G-body Malibu known as the Hood Rat Hot Rod. Mod list is below!

    This car is very cool. Ida maybe hidden the cage a bit and left some sorta back seat. Same with “dash.” It could really surprise a lot of different kinds of go-fast types.

    She's a beast! I'm in the midst of building my new whip. I just put together a 468 big block. I'm going old school. Looking for a g body roller or really anything I can stuff that bohemeth in. Wish I knew more about computers but I'm an old fuck so doing an old school carburetor build maybe even a tunnel ram. Love your ride!

    as a note look into a dry sump oil system for doing donuts. the last engine died do to the oil being pushed out of the pickup from gforce. I've got 5 ls swapped g bodies and found out the hard way on hard launches and donuts

    • @02honeydew
      @02honeydew 2 года назад

      How are dry sumps for just daily driving? Is there anything to look out for when running them or any extra maintenance? I know the Corvette used it on the LS7 but I wasn't sure if non-oem ones were any different

    did you use headers or stock manifolds , cuz my stock manifolds are hitting driver side frame rail and area with brake aportioning manifold which the tranny gear changer lever is attached to.

      @donaldwilson1491 3 года назад +1

      Depends on what condition you buy the motor and who you buy it from. I have a 79 Malibu about to put a 350 small block in it. The new gen LS motors are going to run you pretty high because you have to look into ECU's and fuel injecction unless you want carburated.

    • @carpballet

  • @rustbeltgypsy3713
    @rustbeltgypsy3713 3 года назад

    Heard that oil over heat/ lack of issue is due to oil pump low to high pressure setup getting jammed up, and dimples on gears help lube, and a little porting with more spring compression. ..Check out stock LS oil pump upgrades modifications. ✌️

    Hey bro are you sure your not from Australia the reason I ask is the only place on earth where they really love those crazy smoke shows seems to be down under Americans don't do that shit in the states ...and having a flat torque curve with your Combo / Motor isn't exactly rocket science bro it's really just a matter of intake & camshaft choice right ? But what I'm having an issue with is the obvious Dollar amount you forked over and yet this Malibu remains an outhouse a virtual Pig pen type pile and I have issue with that is this just who you are or was that your intention to start with to pile up a huge inventory of high dollar parts and drive line with all the best Holley has and yet keep it looking like total horse shit ?

    you had an opportunity to tell a "methhead" his car as a Gbody was enough to give him his fix and gave him a low price? the right thing to do was befriend him and tell him he has potential to be a mechanic and a gbody lover if he got your nudge, dude that's ugly :/
