I have some time off from the Vette now, because I'm waiting to redo the soft top after the holidays. So, Tommy and I set out to prepare the powertrain for his 80 Malibu wagon with a quick winter road trip. We started out by going to Transmission Specialties in PA for a nicely rebuilt Turbo 350 and torque converter. Look how happy Tommy is putting tie-downs on it!
Then we stopped by to see our pal Bobby at Fischer Automotive. Bobby has plenty of big blocks on hand, and his reputation for performance engines at Englishtown Raceway Park is well known.
We picked up the long block for the Malibu, all 461 cubic inches and 500+ hp and tucked it away in the South Hill Customs Garage for Tommy. (Thanks again for the White Rose burgers pal!)We got a new project started now! I promise Tommy, I won't sneak that big block into the Stingray, even if it is so very tempting.
