Im not familiar with a 2005 malibu, but i try to search for it,is it right item maybe? 26 dollars, but shipping prices use to be expensive to send outside u.s somethimes, its best to search a little around and watch for prices.

Yeah maybe it is...
Well today i got my new termostate, it is on 71c / 130f. I bought it for a 350 diesel from a website, so im not sure yet if it will fit the house and the intake, but it will be nice to use in the summer i guess..

Have found the 403ci heavy duty springs now i wounder to buy and install after bbo engine swap.. but im scared if the car will be to high in front.
I think my frontsprings is cutted or something,cant see it on the lower control arm, i guess old springs just dont fall toghether with them self after all these years? or maybe?
Same hight on both sides.
Im not sure if 1971 delta 88 455ci springs will fit either in standard thicknes.. but maybe if the controllarms is the same..i need to google the parts nr if so.
i will see when engine swap what the hight says.

I see in the partno for frontsprings to a 71 delta 88 with 7.5l 455 is Moog 5032
and the 77 delta 88 with 403 have moog 5032 as an heavy duty replace ment spring,
so then it will go great

Today i took the last oil shift on the 307 and took it for a ride, working great,lol,.. and i replace the gasket and clean inside the 750 webber, and blow out needles with compressed air, it was a little dirty as u can see..
done

Yes i will,i dont know how many liter capaticy it will have but i will see on the stick,i use to fill the Oil filter too with some Oil when Oil change,
The first i Will do is to pump the Oil around in the engine manual when the engine comes up on the enginestand, i Will check the clearens with the headers installed too, maybe i need to twist the oilstick a little for best fitment. On the 307 the stick goes behind the exhaust manifold.

Today i was curious to see how it looks under the intake, wow what a weight diffrent from Iron to aluminum intake, my plan was to install thw edelbrock intake but first i Will prepare it for new gaskets.. And i check the hight on the engine vs the 307, it looks that the 407 with edelbrock aluminum intake will fit great under the hood, so im Just install it right away...

Exhaust done and done welded, the sound is better now too. Much more confirtable. The mufflers u cant see from side either cause its hided. Welded on a end tip too to get exhaust down. Done for now until engine swap,lol.

Thanks,at least better than the old one,lol. it sit very tight too without much vibrations, so im happy with it untill now.
The muffler before rear axle is still a little low but its not a problem., will be better when it comes headers and straight pipes going back instead of all this curves out from the muffler pipes.

That rtv gasoline/oil resistant permatex silicone, what a ****** mess to work with, just dripping everywhere, .... Well i got done cleaning up , and install the intake, so now i will torque it tomorrow.
#116
Engine on enginestand, tested starter,headers Oil filter and oil stick clearens, looking good, Well just hope now the headers Will fit in my car without modification or less nodifications.. Hmm..
Well now i will take off the old Oil, add new Oil and oilfilter and prime it, take the Oil out, fill on more new Oil and turn the engine around a few times to get the Oil around in the engine, then i will take it out again and replace the sump gasket.

Have take of the Oil Pan now and old gaskets, i see it was used silicone on block to gasket, is it nessesary? I need to take new silicone in the rear part of the crank to get it sealed include new rubbergasket so maybe i will just lay a thin silicone all the way under the gasket too..
Well this engine have new bearings, pistons and rings,etc but i found like a microscopic metalsement in the oilpan, is it normal after new parts? Anyway i have cleaned it up now,anf have a magnetic sump plug to collect up metal particles in next use. I dont know what quality the pistons are either..
I google that the engine have the best 455 crank type in it too.. same casting nr and the N in front.
"397363 455 '68 - '70 Nodular iron. 'N' on front weight."
