'78 Malibu
Bobby Orr
East Northport, NY
Is a late-'70s G-body considered a muscle car? You betcha, and with 625 hp on tap with a nitrous unit, it more than satisfies the requirements. Even though Orr was a Ford guy, he's swapped back over to the right side of things. The 360ci small-block sports 10.5:1 compression through the use of forged internals and domed pistons with a set of massaged cast-iron cylinder heads. Orr's keeping the cam specs secretive, but he did tell us that the power gets transferred through a Turbo 350 that's ratcheted with a Hurst shifter. Out back a 9-inch Moser takes the rest of the abuse and is paired to a set of 31-spline axles and an Eaton posi unit.
