Wassap HMT
the name is Greg, got 2 '79 Malibus, one is finally getting turbo'd, flanges come in tomorrow (yippie)
i know i'm not in the general demographic for this site, which i see is mostly hondas, but just cuz i drive & love my malibus, doesn't mean i hate hondas (i don't, hell i'd love to have a EG6 to play with), i just hate ricers, haha
i'm going to use 2 T3 turbos that came off of mid-90s Volvo 840 5cylinders, got them for 50bucks a piece (one even with the downpipe & a charge pipe)
its going to be a learning experience, since it'll be a backyard, blow-thru carb set up, but it should be ALOT of fun too
heres some pics
305s are weak...
heres the turbos
& heres my other 'Bu, daily driver hawtness
sooooo, i guess, hello guys, haha

I'd say 350 or 400 or bust :P

& i had a 350 once, it was too slow, my father does the 350 thing, he has one in his '78 Regal T-type, & its much slower then my car, how much? i dunno, he hasn't raced it yet, but its prolly at least a second slower, if he ran HEI instead of points, it'll clear up his ignition problems, but no, hes too old fashioned
heres an old pic of the Buick
