Bad ass!!!I also vote LS power!
New project Malibu
- Thread starter jameser
- Start date
Very cool car. I'd do everything I could to keep it sleeper. Maybe have the rear wheels on it stretched to 10".
I think this was in Car Craft, it's an awesome example of a sleeper

I don't think those manifolds will clear, I think the passenger side one will exit right into the frame rail, and the driver's side one into the steering box. It depends on the mounts though, are you using the bprhotrods mounts or ?
Love the project, it's going to be really cool.

Yeah the manifolds will be flipped upside down and side to side, sucks they don't fit downward. I have a set of mount plates that position forward 1" or stock location and also ran into the problem with the oil pan contacting the frame before the mounts fully seat. So I will be custom fabricating the frame side motor mount.

More updates
Here are some more update pics. I had to cut the frame cradle to make room for the oil pan, then the steering centerlink was hitting the oil pan. I had to modify the motor mounts to raise the engine 1/2" for clearance. Now the engine is in place and I started to build the homegrown on the cheap turbo kit. I just started to tack weld all the pipes together, still need to put in the wastegate and complete all the welding on the hotside. Hoping to get that done and start on the cold side this weekend.

Thanks, It is definitely clean, but I am not doing a full show car like yourself. Very nice project you have there.
Just trying to get some of the big stuff done before winter hits.
