man havent been hear in awhile.. suprised thread was locked..
4 years latter.. lot as happened got out in oct 08
swapped a junk yard 468BBC put samll cam, bearings rings seals valve springs in the wagon drove form LA to springfield OH 2800miles.. only problem through the alt/fan belt south side of indy. not bad for having less then 500.00 in it.
went to college (wyotech) blew that 468 up in their dyno piston slap after then additional 20,000 mile i put on it. it died at 3600rpm making 236rwhp and 360rwtq.
whats left of piston #7

found and built another 468bbc
2.065/1.88 vavle proted heads (049), oem rods and crank reconed with 3/8" rod bolts slinging speed pro 10cc domes, kmotion springs, comp roller tip rockers (came with junk yard engine) performer intake msd pro billet dis HV oil pump. 208/218 @.050 .475/.500 hyd cam(same spec that blew up on the dyno) dynoed 305/477 at the tires with a edelbrock 600cfm carb.

put a JD race 8.8/7.5 hybrid axle with 31 spline axles and true trac dif with 3.08 gears along with DA upper links and tubler NA lowers.
also got biger 1 1/4" MC as well
got a 17x9 with 5" bs for mock up.. not near as much tweeking is going to be needed as i thought..

did do a dmax repower but not in the malibu
but my 99C3500HD that the 6.5 deside to generate a 2 peice crankshaft.

thing to note
Dmax runs the same standard GM 6/7 hole bolt pattern.
autos run 6 bolt large BC 11" allison and 4l85 are the same.
weighs about 850lbs and will fit nicely in the same BBC space..
got about 8,000 in the swap with tuneing can get ~650fwhp and over 30mpg(from other swaps i have seen)

plan/goals are this
1g skid pag
11 1/4 mile
70+ slallom
100' less 60-0
20+ mpg
275s in the front and min 275 rear possible 315s, cross country DD realiable
talked to mark at SC&C be usesing alot of their stuff.
