Pop that aggressive-looking hood open, and a freshly machined and
built 350 cubic-inch V-8 engine stares back at you, daring you to
try and handle the power it is ready to dole out. Aluminum heads
are complemented by Proform roller rocks and a Summit racing cam,
as well as a Weiland intake manifold, Fi-Tech fuel injection
system, and Holley fuel pump. Exhaust gasses are dealt with thanks
to a set of Hooker mid-length headers and Flow Master dual exhaust.
Those ponies are then sent through a Sid Neal-built TH350
three-speed automatic transmission that uses a mild converter and
Trick Flow transmission pan.
Also hiding under that bright red exterior is a shock/coil spring
front suspension while a trailing arm w/coil springs and shocks
rear suspension handle handling. Both ends of the car's suspension
are beefed up with front and rear swaybars, respectively. A Quick
Performance nine-inch rear end sits between a set of UMI control
arms.
A QP disc brake kit allows for power disc brakes at all four
corners, while 15-inch American Torq Thrust wheels put the perfect
finishing touch on this two-year restoration project. So whether
you're on your way to meet some friends for a Bay Breeze, or taking
your surfboard to go and feel the actual bay breezes, this 1981
Chevrolet Malibu restomod is the perfect vehicle to get you there
in style.
