Welcome to Shiftn6.com!
This page details the work ive done to my 1981 Chevy Malibu, turning it from a daily driven grocery getter to one bad street machine. The main focus of this project is to make a clean looking, decent handling, powerful, and dependable street car that I could drive everyday if I wanted. Have fun looking around and send me an email if you have any questions or comments.

7/17/2007 - The car is officially injected now! I still have some tuning to do and then bring it to a dyno to have it profesionally tuned completely. I drove the car just around the block and it runs pretty good considering its not tuned. It currently idles very nicely at 750-800 RPM.

7/12/2007 - The EFI swap is almost complete! If you are interested in pics, go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/388bu I have decided to stop posting new pics on the site. Instead, any new pics will be posted on Flickr. Its WAY easier to update Flickr rather than the site.

6/18/2007 - Been working alot on the car lately: Late model GM truck hydroboost conversion. Installing an 11" clutch. Working on an adjustable bump steer mod. And last but not least, I am finally converting the car over to EFI! Decided on an Accel DFI with the Pro-Ram intake, 1200 CFM throttle body and 36 LB injectors. I went with the bigger TB and injectors because I plan to Procharge it sometime in the future.

7/25/2006 - Added a few new much needed pics to the interior section.

3/6/2006 - Update! Added another video to the media section.
