***** This car popped another fuel pressure regulator, we found a metered orifice with a tiny .100 in. hole in the tank sending unit that was restricting the fuel return flow.******
I think ours was 73 or 74?
How did you do the fuel system
Gee, our old Chevelle ran great...THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!
This old engine 6 cilinder straight line. In my country Dominican republic is jewelry. Is like Toyota r22. People love.
I found a 77 malibu classic, it’s got the original GT wheels and a blue paint job and blue interior with bucket seats. it’s a vinyl top as well.
My father had this car when I was kid. This video is just awesome
Love the car I wish I could find something like that!...
Have a 1976 Malibu Classic coupe that we removed from an outbuilding on my uncle's farm when he passed. We never knew he had the car because he had become such a private person. It had a 1987 tag and only 70,000 miles showing. Apparently that was when he parked it there. Took to my brother in laws shop and got it running. Surprisingly it cranked without any issue after flushing gas tank and changing oil. It has surface rust on the horizontal body parts from not being cleaned for so long. Body is very solid otherwise. Landou roof vinyl had deteriorated and ripped. Interior is in really good shape and has swivel bucket seats and console. Just wondering if that model Chevelle would be worth it as a project. Best thing is the body not having serious rust issues which is uncommon for a car of that age.
That was the first thing I thought of when you said the symptoms
Bought the'77 Chevelle ,,,,for it's grill and more! It's the closest I'm getting to a...ROLLS ROYCE (grill and all) HAHAhaha!!
Nice clean install👍👍 I've got a '68 Chevelle getn ready for the LS2 I've got sittin next to it. Super excited can't wait! New subscriber too👊
I love Malibus one of my favorite we had too back in late 70s 80s
Awesome build!
Nice work, super clean car. Thinking about a 5.3 swap on a 73 Chevelle I'm picking up and this was really informative. Subscribing for more
Beautiful car to work on, for sure.
A 10 bolt 3:73 posi would go GREAT on it.
Coming back this spring for gears, posi, and 4l80e!
@@HsPerformanceWi Big Fat Like!
Now if only it was a 73 cutlass supreme with bucket seats and a floor shift!
Nice to get some info needed. Have an LM7 5.3 in my 76 now with a 4L80E. Drive shaft in, Eaton Posi in the 8.5 corporate rear end, slotted disks, 2in lowering coils n shocks, Boyd Speedster wheels, shovel Laguna nose, GT45 turbo used flipped chopped exhaust manifolds 4" to 3.5 downpipe 41? Flowmaster muffler to Nascar style "Boom Tube", 13"x30" intercooler and 3" pipe ran, aluminum 3 row radiator. Got the shallow muscle car oil pan. Mounted the battery in back pass side on plate bolted in. Got larger pump for 2001 silverado fuel pump assembly in original style tank. 2001 Silverado steering column. Stripped the frame to the firewall and rebuilt/ repainted it. Still have wiring all over. Rebuilt the 5.3 harness adding speed sensor for 4L80E and have not programmed the original computer. Other than what you have on the videos can you think of anything else I should look out for or maybe something you may have done differently?
Nice car nice work
Sweet car I going to be doing that same thing to my 75 Monte
Super dope
He I just found your channel an I LOVE Malibu, you did a great job. I have a 1974 El Camino and want to do the same thing just with a 4l60e trans. My question to you is , do you have a parts list on the engine and everything you did to get it done? I will have to look at the rest of your videos also, I just wanted to tell you Thank you and keep up the great work. You have fans that look forward to your videos 👍... The wheels and tires what are they called?
All 70s n 80s cars I love but I love older too and only some new cars I feel the 70s were the best style the cars look so exciting and happy..lol
Very nice..
Add it to the "Dont get owned by" list.
Perfect old project cars to drop an LS in. Not a reason in the world to keep this one original don't think I've ever seen one of these with the six-cylinder in it plus it lacking any options.
I love a MAliBOO!!!
New subscriber too
I have a 75. By chance do you remember which wire colors you used under the dash for the swap? That's my last hope up. 6.0 stage one cam 4l80e.
Y go Man
Badass
What rear did this car originally have in it. Mines got a 2.73 limited slip thinking about swapping over to the 10 bolt 3.73 before I swap. Is it necessary or save my $$ for now
I can't remember offhand but its in the video here. czcams.com/video/QtUJ-ubU9tw/video.html&lc=UgwMyIZpxJ0RcGCAZfp4AaABAg&ab_channel=H%27sPerformance
I got the same year and already got a 6.0 am rebuilding...my question is what headers are those, and what did you do as far as fuel system
Speed engineering A body long tubes, fuel pump is a walbro 255
And from what understand the walbro pump and sending unit can go right into the stock tank
😍❤💯👍
Was the swap so hard to
I would love to have this car
Its for sale, link in the description
@@HsPerformanceWi Yeah I already called the dealer on it hoping to get some more info so I’m glad I saw this video!!
The 250L6 was a good motor
I have a 74 malibu
What did you do as far as pinion and tranny angles? Ive been fighting my cutlass .
Trans stayed in stock location, the engine mounts ended up putting crank centerline back where it was as well. I measured from the top of the bell housing to a reference point on the firewall before pulling the 250 and the measurement/driveline angles didn't change with the LS.
@@HsPerformanceWi i mqde my own frame mounts, at firat i installed with original 350 frame mounts and engine didnt come close to the 350 location. Im guessing i should of just relocated them. Ended up missplacing them. Is there any way you might be able to get me the angles. Right now my tranny is pointing down from front to back and diff is pointing up from front to back
@@comalgera sorry, cant help you. The car is long gone the owner has been driving the wheels off of it. The best advise I can give you is to measure pinion angle at ride height and raise/lower the tail shaft to match. If there is not enough spline engagement on the yoke you will also pick up some bad vibes, the driveshaft does a "jump rope" effect. Hope some of this helps!
What kind of mounts did you use?
factory smallblock and ict billet adapters
@@HsPerformanceWi I'm fixing to do the same swap on my 74 thank you..
How much did you charge for this? I just got a chevelle Malibu. Same year and everything
send me a message through facebook or IG, both links are in the description. Thanks!
usually about 5-7k
What year was the last year Malibu made?
Never stopped
How much to do a LS swap sir
It varies depending on vehicle and generation of LS used, drop a message at facebook.com/LSXPERT
What cold air intake is that?
I buy these and cut, weld, modify them to suit my needs tinyurl.com/yrkrcmbe usually need an extra boot for the maf tinyurl.com/4s9h62jd
@@HsPerformanceWi It Incereases horsepower is what the listing says. This is genius man.
@@clawwill34 oh yea all the horsetorques lol
I have never liked this car, and never will, respect your build tho.
Is it considered a "Laguna" now ?🤔#sleeper
nope, no power brakes lol
@@HsPerformanceWi badass job, tho😎
It's back for more updates expect another video in a week or two
Is this car for sale?😂
Thats just the stock tranny doing that chirp into. 2nd no shift kit nothing
Yeah they would if you had something with some balls in front of it the turbo 400s were even better just leave them in second not shift it manually and stand on that pedal in an old grand Prix or something w a 400 or 455 init and they used to grab a mean second gear rubber four feet long sometimes lol
