Re: 1965 Malibu Wagon build
You gotta love a wagon!! You will have an eyecatcher there. Bill Reavis from N.C. ran one of these in IHRA Super Stock production back in the early 80's. He ran a 283 in the 2bbl production class as did my brother with a 58 yeoman 2 door wagon. The "hot ticket" then for 2bbl. production S/S was a 283+.060, 302 steel crank, aluminum rods, all the compression you could stuff in it, holley strip dominator, braswell 2bbl adapter, holley 650cfm 2 bbl., lunati RRA-271/281 roller cam, 292 turbo heads, crane rollers with a stud girdle, and RPM it like a chainsaw. Keep the pictures coming, I can't wait to see more. Don Jackson
