This is a 1980 Chevy Malibu with a 1987 Buick Grand National 3.8 turbo bored 30 over.It has stage a 3 cam, 55lbs. injecters, a rebuilt 350 tranny with a cheetah shift kit,and 8" converter. Everything on the car is Grand National. (Interior, Frame, Cluster, etc.).Basically it's a Malibu on top of a GN. The turbo is a t70 rear 82, the fuel pump is a high volume pump, the heads have bigger valves, dual springs and o-rings. I bought the car and it had the stock v6 with 40K and i bought a grand national that was smashed in the front which had 40k also so that the numbers on the body would match the engine.I finshed the car, after 7 years, it was runnig good at 18lbs of boost and i decided to race a grand national and i blew the engine. Cylinder #6 melted the block, piston and head. Now i did another block with the same specs and it runs great.I just purchased a front mount intercooler that fits right behind the grill. More pics coming soon!!! Thanks for checking out my Turbo Chevy-Buick!!!!
