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.

10/23/2008 - Just finished up the 6.0 swap! Car runs great and sounds awesome!

9/28/2008 - 6.0 swap really underway! Found an '04 6.0 with 43k miles on it. Just going to throw it in as-is to get it running and then next spring the heads/cam/intake are going on it. I am shooting to have it running in about 3 weeks. As soon as I get the BRP headers and my flywheel I can set the motor in the car for the last time and start hooking stuff up!

9/15/2008 - 6.0 swap underway! Well...sorta. Motor and related stuff is for sale. I am starting to tear it all down and am currently looking for an LQ4. More details coming soon...

9/9/2008 - For whatever reason, my ECM fried the other day. I have all but decided to do a 6.0 swap next spring. If the ECM is out of warranty then I am for sure doing it. I am done sinking anymore money into GEN I stuff. Ill most likely get an LQ4 and at the minimum throw a cam in it. Maybe some L92 heads right away if the money is there. Carcraft built an LQ4 and with just a cam, got 480+ HP....with the L92's that went to 550!
