man I'm days away from getting my 78 monte back driving.. been a 7 year rotisserie restomod.. eyeballed your ride a few times at the ls fest.. haven't done it yet, but I hijacked your bed liner idea on fb lol
cant wait to show mine off this year . . hope to see you there 👍
So why should I watch this before swapping my G-body to an LS?
i wish i knew
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.
This G-Body is perfect. Our kind of Hot Rod!!!!!
Love your car! I have a el camino & im following in your foot steps!😍
hope you post videos of your el camino build, I have an el camino I want to do this with too
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!
2:39 Broooo no waaaaay! I have that video saved to one of my playlists from high school. I think I was trying to figure out what kind of exhaust to put on my grandpa's k30 or something lol.
Subbed! I have an 80 Malibu coupe & have been wanting to do something similar!
Hey man just subbed good stuff here !!!!
I love how your pocket is hanging out of the hole in your jeans. True sign of a guy being frugal and spending the $$ on the race car.
I also go to Unoh😂 Lots of great recommendations in this. I’ve definitely got a few new ideas for my swap.
I love this car it has so much class
I remember that car running around lima..
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
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
Sweet car man I love it
Useful vlog th x for sharing
This is badass! I want a v8 swap my gbody monte im from cleveland
Cool. Makes me smile
Gonna make a nice drifter 🤘🏼
I'm gonna take this car to a drift event with the goal of keeping it out of the wall... we'll see what happens. Looking forward to thrashing on the G35 though!
Yeah you dont know how the bullets holes got there huh...😂 I believe you
What kind of wheel studs did u use and did u do a rocker arm upgrade
Baddest Malibu on RUclips 🔥
My man
i have a 5.7 hemi that iam rebuilding out of a aspen just as a hobby to kill time and ive always been in love with those malibus i was wondering would it be a cool idea if i put the hemi in one of those?
There is some dude somewhere putting a hellcat in a regal i think
Did you sell the intake because I can use it bro nice engine
What motor mounts are you using or are they custom?
Cool car bro wat part of ky in I live in Northern Kentucky myself?
Badass!
There is no such thing as a silly sounding camshaft lol. ALL THE CHOP OR NONE OF THE CHOP! 😂😂😂
Exactly!! That lopey idol screams drag car but I don't think he knows what that is. 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Don’t talk about my city like that🤣🤣🤣 Detroit
Thanks for the motivation
Any time!
Nice Malibu
Wow beautiful video exsileant great thanks for sharing dear friends 💖💖💖👌👌👌👌💕💕💕👌👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️
Hey I just randomly came across this video from searching ls swaps and I seen unoh which is in my hometown. Small world
you get it done ??
@@aztekwarrior518 oh yeah its done, i will mist def be at ls fest this sept
@@chevymontanta where can I find you on Facebook?
I have the EXACT same wheels on my 86 442. But US Wheels told me that I couldn't get anything wider than 8 inches and that's what I have all the way around. SMH.
Hope you the best friend and my monte is coming together soon
Hey man im having trouble getting my 5.3 ls installed in 84 cutlass g body.
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.
Summit Racing has some manifolds that clear the frame. I used them on my 84 cutlass.
I used the hooker g-body specific engine swap mounts and their long tube headers. everything fit really nicely!
As a guy just getting into cars and working on them I'd love to know how much money's in that engine swap
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.
Like some restaurants without prices on the menu, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. I bet he’s 10 to 15 motor only.
What kinda seats are those
How much the t56 cost u see them go 1500 to 5500
im guessing you have the frame notched out to fit those wheels in back
no, stock frame rails!
Nice ride. what are the cam specs ?
At the time the 408 stroker motor had a custom grind TSP cam. i believe it was 240/248 or something similar.
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. ✌️
Could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I saw this car for sale a while back.
you did. I sold it to a guy in georgia, then he sold it to a guy in Wisconsin or Minnesota
Will this suspension setup work on a 86 cutlass ?
yep
Made sense to do an LS Swap??
What motor mounts headers oil pan radiator fuel pump did you run
that is literally what this video is about
@@hoodrathotrods9068 ok thanks
What oil pan does the car have?
holley 302-3
I’m about to finish up here at UNOH. I don’t think I ever saw the car and I’m kinda butthurt about that lol.
yeah, i graduated in 2014
Appears to have some serious cash invested in the Gbody , $25k??? Anyone have a guess?
If you just do the math of all the parts on it at retail as it sits in that video... roughly $40k lol
Loss of oil pressure from oil slosh a quick remedy grab a inline pressure boiler incase of oil pressure loss it holds a extra 4 quarts of oil
What is this . Do you have a part no. And full product description
Shit look how you drive it damn.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes destroying something is the best way to rebuild it
👍❤️💞😍👌🌹💕
That looked like a Kentucky license plate
it is!
I’m from Kentucky to
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 ?
yes
“Shannanigannery”
How is it that EVERYONE in Ohio has a big ass pole barn?? I want one.
Wuw wuw WUW for all that you've done for the money have you spent you could have put a Chevy small block roller motor and came out with the same outcome if you get somebody to knows how to build a motor for a fraction of what you spent 🤔
Okay
1k like
Seems pretty half assed.
I cannot for the life of me find those rims , I only can fined 7x8 with that bolt pattern
Looks like they aren't available on US wheels website anymore.... hmm www.uswheel.com/wheel/7710/us-wheel-daytona-stealth-series-804/?finishID=12
ohio
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 :/
If you were listening you would know I didn't buy the car from a methhead. But, hey. I guess we can choose what we want to be mad about.
