this thread reminds me what I was gonna do with my old 80 malibu (same generation/style as the one mentioned). mine had a tired old 305 with a 4 barrel carb and a 2 or 3 speed auto. I was all ready to put in the engine and transmission out of a wrecked 93 Z28 LT1 and auto tran but the car was totaled before I could do the swap. the money I got from the stuf that i salvaged off the car and the engine/tranny from the camaro helped buy my a replacement car. if i EVER find another 'bu like that I am SO putting a LS series V8 in it
