Where's my LIKE button?

Can't wait to see it at the Valley!

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

Think he ran the 327 which put him in SS/N.....

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

Right on! Cant wait to see updates!

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

Cool! I assume you already have a 'glide, rather than a 200?

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

here's Dave Irvin's - multiple O & P/SA National Record Holder '65 Malibu Wagon... sold / traded to Luneack... and then onto somebody else already...

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

Yeah, Frank I was looking on the "Station Wagons" thread last night and found a couple shots of Val's '65. It looks like he bounced around between SS/MA and NA at the time.

Take Dwights advice and put a stick in it !

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

Todays progress. Ready for sealer and paint. Saturday night it will be red..
I got the glide and converter. All ready. The 283 is almost ready. Not looking for low et and top speed with this car. This is the play car who ever come with me racing get to drive this one.

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

You gotta love a wagon!! You will have an eyecatcher there. Bill Reavis from N.C. ran one of these in IHRA Super Stock production back in the early 80's. He ran a 283 in the 2bbl production class as did my brother with a 58 yeoman 2 door wagon. The "hot ticket" then for 2bbl. production S/S was a 283+.060, 302 steel crank, aluminum rods, all the compression you could stuff in it, holley strip dominator, braswell 2bbl adapter, holley 650cfm 2 bbl., lunati RRA-271/281 roller cam, 292 turbo heads, crane rollers with a stud girdle, and RPM it like a chainsaw. Keep the pictures coming, I can't wait to see more. Don Jackson

Hi-Nice car!!!!! Go out and have fun with it. I ran a 64 for 10 years ;not a world beater but learned a lot from it. Doug Schriener

Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
 

I still waiting on parts. We going to get working. Soon! I have been chasing rear end stuff. Thought I had a plan for the 10 bolt but they don't make 5.13 gears any more for a 8.2 . (Thanks Obama) stock rear in this car! So 12 bolts from moser are 2400 bucks! Find a factory 12 bolt for a 65 ya right! So we found a 10 bolt 8.5 rear from a 1973 and up. But I live in South Dakota in the coldest flippin winter in the history of the planet ( Global warming ya sure Al Gore) So the car with the rear end I need is stuck in a snow pile. Nice! New Bullet cam on the way! Disk Brakes for front on the way and all the front end stuff. So next week guys I will have more pictures. Oh by the way I need more sales to finish this thing! So check out my website midwestracecabinets.com :)
