Thanks Eric! It'll be fun to see what can be done with a very small budget and how much it improves the car overall. First tip for people on tight budgets. ENTER CONTESTS! You never know, you might actually win something! LOL
Here's a familiar sight in many garages. An old school engine put together for a project that was abandoned sits in a corner. This one had been assembled at roughly the same time the Malibu was sold as new!!! Luckily for this engine it may get a chance to breathe again (pending inspection). Today I got things out of the way to make room in the garage to do the swap, took a few pics, and dug out the engine hoist.
