Been on here awhile off and on mainly creeping lol. It's a very long story and I'll probably get alot of hell over it but my Malibu is actually going from last swap to lt swap. Long term goal is forged internal and turbo but I wanna experiment with the motor some and see what all it can handle. The car isn't pretty but I have a good time with it

I have owned this car since 05. It was the first car i ever owned and I still enjoy the hell out of it lol. Currently it's a built 8.8 with 4.30 gear
400 turbo with 5k stall
Caged with full interior including bench seat
Holley hp ECU with the dash https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/91200acce8af37e1acb2b15276af4fe3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/dedb272b63247ea0c190be7e271798d2.jpg

One of the good things about the ltx crowd is how nice and welcoming they are lol I have always said most the last crowd are douchebags that never touched another motor besides a LS

We've had Malibu's in our family for over 20yrs. My brother has had 3 coupes and one wagon with a 4sp manual. Nice build you have there!
