I mean, if it's together and running, toss it in there, assuming you have headers and appropriate front springs for your malibu. Spray the snot out of it and don't care about blowing it up.
Having one of those "don't give a flip" motors are some of the funniest and toughest motors you'll ever have! Kinda like the old 305's. Pcs of junk, but as tuff as wood pecker lips!!
