There is no way to tell what engine and trans the elky had. All we know for sure is that it had a V8, so it was likely a 170-hp/283. There were optional versions of the 283, 230-hp, 250-hp,280-hp, 305-hp, 320-hp, 335-hp. But according to the literature its not clear if you could get all these versions.



There may be more info on the body tag if you want to post that.


But all that aside, 1960 El Camino is a keeper, only 14,163 were made not matter what engine it had.
