Chevrolet Malibu Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1978–1983)

Chevrolet Malibu Engines and Transmissions

Each Chevrolet Malibu engine here sends power rearward, so the drivetrain stays familiar and easy to service. Examples include a 3.3 gasoline unit with a manual gearbox, a 4.3 gasoline manual, and a 4.3 diesel paired with an automatic transmission for calmer, low-effort highway driving.
