Here is my new 1966 Chevelle Malibu project. Has all original drivetrain and all the rust you want in the usual areas. 283 two barrel and Powerglide , will be adding A/C, P/S, P/Disc Brake. Need tailgate regulator for power window if anyone has a spare.... Love my new Long Roof!!
Welcome aboard! Congrats on your wagon! Question - the engine pic - where's that upper coolant hose going?
Nice wagon!! I even like the color. I would get it running change the oil and drive the CRAP out of it!! Welcome!! The guys/gals on this forum are the best!
Agreed. Flex hose should be as a back-up ONLY! Keep it in the trunk if you need it. Slows cooling down!!
Absolutely they do. I have sold them for a few very odd swap engine to radiator combos but the factory fit hoses are the best and normally are less expensive.
Ok - thanks. Couldn't really tell from the pic and I thought it was routing through the driver's side wheel well. So what's the plans for the wagon?
We're doing a 67 wagon down here, but we don't have a beach. When it's time for AC, you'll love the Vintage Air electronic system. I've got a 66 Malibu 2 door hardtop. It's about all done. For disc brakes, I bought a conversion from a 71 Chevelle, bolted right up.
I just order the Vintage Air kit and was hoping that the system works. The conversion for the original heater controls looks great. I did have fun cutting the dash openings to fit the vents. My DNA is now part of the dash... The brake conversion was easy with parts I had collected over the years. Will be replacing the steering box with a power unit.
