Our 1968 Malibu

This is our 1968 Chevy Chevelle Malibu 136 code Non SS, Non a/c Project. It came with a GM Crate 350 and TH-350 Transmission, stock 10 bolt non posi 8.2 rear end. All of that is going to be replaced with a 396 big block TH 400 and a GM 12 Bolt rear end. The interior is thrashed and the exterior needs work. The plan is to take the motor and trans out, remove the interior, fenders, wiring and windows -

Tony at TG Performance in Lawndale CA is building a 396 that is .030 over making it a 402 Big Block. It has forged dome pistons, forged H- Beam rods Clevite bearings, Moly Rings and some open chamber Oval ports heads with big ass valves. I am going with a 2500-3000 10" converter.

I am looking for a nice carb for this project Contact me if you have something I can use.

I got some disc brakes and 1" lowering springs for the front, A Detroit Tru TRAC Limited slip posi, 3:73 gears for the 12 Bolt, some big block coils and a pair of lakewood 50/50 shocks to help stiffen it up. We are going to be going with UMI Performance 68-72 Chevelle A-Body Boxed Lower & Upper Control Arms

Steve Sharp rebuilt the TH 400 with a Heavy Duty Sprag, Shift kit and what ever it takes to make it handle up to 1000 horse power.
 
The frame was steam cleaned, sand blasted and powder coated at Beach Cities Powder Coating in Gardena CA 310-771-8282
