Restoration almost complete.... 84 El Camino

[Greg@RET]

Heres a El Camino that came in as a frame. We did all the suspension, motor, trans, wiring, then put the body on. We are taking it to the interior shop two doors down today. I will get a front shot of it later, for some reason it didnt go to my email. These wheels are temporary.... Motor is a Dart block 406, compression 10:5, Dr. J CNC ported heads/cam/intake.

Looks almost as good as my brother's '86 Monte SS. The elco has a much stouter motor though. Pretty badass for a chebby!

[mc0311grunt]

for a chebby it is pretty bad ass. Vette emblem and the sticker gotta go. Looks like a clean ass build Greg :thumbsup:

[Ogbatman]

Looking really good.

[06silverbullet]

don't like how low that intake sits but whom i to judge that :look: lol.

on a serious note why is it every ss truck i've seen have the corvette emblem on it?

[Greg@RET]

Its higher then the radiator shroud and kmember, so long as he doesnt drive through a pool it will work lol

[LXS]

Damn you Greg, you're making the wheels in my head turn!! :mad: lol :D




So whatcha gonna do with that LT1?

[RedRyder]

eeew LT1. My brother has that in his caddy- slooooow.

As much as I don't care for the LT1, it can be built to haul ass, and definately give that stroker of yours a run for it's money with just bolt ons

[06silverbullet]

was the lt1 used in 70's vettes as a higher output 350 motor?

[LXS]

Im not too sure about Vettes, I don't know the history of Vettes quite as good as Chevelles/Camaros/Novas, there was an LT1 in the 70 Camaro, just not fuel injected (obviously). Don't know the exact specs of either LT1, but I'm sure you can find the info on google

[Greg@RET]

So this El Camino is back in the shop. He says he wants more power, so have something else getting ready to go in :asthanos: He almost went with a Procharger for it, but decided to just run more compression. Still keeping the carb though..

[LXS]

NOICE!!! Can't wait to see/hear her when she's done!! :drool:

[kingeaton]

I saw this car leave today sounded very mean. Greg put the video up!

[Greg@RET]

Ask and you shall receive :angel: Added some other things to it also, I am happy with the turn around time.

[kingeaton]

Read my sig:afro:

[RedRyder]

My brother looked into those pulleys for his Monte SS. They are pricey as hell. That elco sounds pretty healthy. :cheers:

[Greg@RET]

Lol, yeah that accessory kit is no joke.
