I really like the story of this L78 Malibu. Bagging an LS6 - that's just cool. These solid lifter motors are high winders.

I noticed a break down of autos to 4 speeds (1,218 As & 6,115 Ms). Is this definitive info or just an extrapolation from Dan Carr's research project/poster?

BTW Jim, did you talk to Ted C. on how he kept the rear tires planted with the notorious 69 'velle wheel hop? Interested in type of hardware he may have used to prevent this. Any vintage photos of this ride?

Thanks Jim, for sharing and congrats on the write up.
