MY JUNKYARD V8 4 SPEED 78 MALIBU + NEW PROJECT

In this video we go over some of the stuff and things I do to my now daily driver, a 1978 Chevrolet Malibu with a factory 4 speed behind a v8 305 and installed a 350. it sat for nearly 20 years before I bought it, and was in a junkyard in Arizona before that. I've fallen in love with this car over the last year. As a bonus I also show you a new project car, a sneak peek into the next build. 78 gbody g body malibu. shuffle

    Righteous. I had a '78 'Bu wagon with a 350 small block,Holley double pumper,headers and a 3spd on the column. In several shades of lovely gray primer. Sounded just like yours. Really brought me back in time. Excellent video fellas.

    Got a 78 that came with a 305 and automatic. Changed it over to four speed and hopped up 350. Got everything from junkyards. You guys do beautiful work. ❤
