sounds sik but only 364 hp out of a big block?

i love these cars!!!

Great stuff!!!

The motor is a 454. He just bought the car so we don't know any of the specs on the motor. It does have a Team G intake, a 750 holley, 1/2 inch fuel line and a complete sepreate fuel system for the NOS Cheater system. He hasn't check to see what hp setting is in the nitrous so he didn't hit it on the dyno. There is nothing special done to the frame. He and his brother have owned what seems like half of the 78 to 81 malibus that were ever made and have nevver had a problem with the frames. Useing everything from blown small blocks to 488 big blocks.

What engine? Tell us about the carb(s) cams heads, everything.

Nice.The greatest looking malibu.I actually like that body better than the 60s. I like to see thier frames holding up to bigger engines- that body didn't have the heavier duty stuff however. Even the cars size was special with a small block. (My friend and I snapped a frame rail at the thickest part behind the engine- "only" 300hp)
Was anything special done to the frame/body for the powerful engine?
