Hi, My grandfather owned a 1976 El Camino Classic\ red\ 64k miles\ all stock.

I was wondering what engines the 76 Classic came with?


Could it have a big block?


thnx, fred

He OWNS.


:lol:

well i just looked it up in the parts catalog, and looks like the 76 A-bodies came with 305s, 350s, and 454s. i didnt think they wouldve had 454s as recently as 76 but it says it right there.

I really don't think that a Big Block was an option in 76.

You're absolutely right Pete. There was no big block offered in the 76 Elky.

Five engines were available in the 76 El Camino.

250 1-bbl L6-L22 105 HP ( Standard Six )
305 2-bbl V8-LG3 140 HP ( Standard V8 )
350 2-bbl V8-L65 145 HP
350 4-bbl V8-LM1 165 HP (California only)
400 4-bbl V8-LT4 175 HP

i looked it up in the parts catalog, and under engine block, it had the 454 option. you guys are far more informed about el caminos than me :( , but im just telling you what the GM catalog said for 76 A-bodies. ooo hockey is on. i got to go.
