I figured it was a stroker 383 Chevy.
I figured that too...but I love ruffling the cheby guys feathers by asking it that wayI figured it was a stroker 383 Chevy.
Maybe a 383 GM mill!!???? lolGot any pics of the engine in there?
I bet that mopar big block made people mad
Well I fell and hit my head recently to Joe.
Picked this little cream puff up for the Wife wink wink.
Had a brand new GT in 92, always missed that car.
Its been a lot of fun tinkering with this car, factory and aftermarket parts galore. Values are going up as well.

not a mopar this time. needed a change up.. these G-body cars are getting hard to find in good shape and rising in price so i wanted to get one before they got out of reach. i've been casually looking for a grand prix or cutlass for a little bit and finally found a good one at a good price so i grabbed it... nothing special just a 86 cutlass supreme with a 307 V8 in it and 2.14 gears..lol
the car runs very well, is very clean. lower doors are rusty which is common on them but thats it for rust. i drove it an hour home and man is that bench seat comfortable and it cruises along so easily at 75-80mph....
immediate plans for it are to buff it out, clean the int up, put a set of rims and tires on it and buy a 442 style cat back exhaust on it and drive it hell out of it.. i won't feel bad cruising to the shore and leaving this in a parking lot. always worries me leaving the dart in a parking lot where cars are parked tight...
down the road plans... i'd like to put a UMI "power tour" suspension kit on it which will also lower it 2". would also like to put an OD trans init...
way down the road plans would be to put LS power in it..
its amazing what you can buy for these damn cars. can build just about the entire thing from a catalog..
i can't spend too much time and money on this one yet. Lil Red is still priority. that has to be on the road this year....

is this the G-Body coming out thread?
LOL
Note the seller ...

Besides a Mopar I to have a G body. I had, had one as my first car and regretted selling it. So about 8 years ago I bought another Malibu. Like you had mention it can be tough finding one that was not a rust bucket. When I got mine it was a 62k cream puff with a 267 sbc. Since than the front and rear suspension has been upgrade with boxed trailing arms, tubular control arms, larger sway bars and Viking coil overs in the front and smooth body adjustables in the rear. Engine wise I lived with the 267 till 2017 when I swapped it out for a 383. Its a fun car and man does it handle.
Paint wise its the same except of the addition of the cowl hood that I blended in.
