I just wanted to get a list of all the gen III/IV powered El Camino's on here. And what kinda numbers you got. Also want to know what other mods are done to your car.

while I'm using a 355, I'd like to someday maybe swap in a turbo'd 402 stroker, or LS7 to lay the smack down on anything that pulls up beside me. but the SBC fits my needs for cost effectiveness and simplicity for the time being.

I now have both a LSX platform 85 SS and a LTX platform 84 Elco.

haven't seen the 85 yet I guess. pics/info/mods?

I just purchased the 85. It got delivered to my Uncles house today in Delaware and I am driving to pick it up ASAP! I will be flaunting some pictures of my babies playing together :cool: Will keep you all updated

First Post on here.
I am building a 65 Elky on a Schwartz tube chassis, with a modded LS2 and T56. I should be firing it off this week. Glad to have found an Elky site.

Welcome! I hope you stick around here. I wanna see pics of this beast.

I have quite a few build pics. Where is the proper place to post them?

Thank You. I'll try to get some pics organized and posted.

Lm7 with corvett manifold and headers from "street and performance" (should have around 340hp), 8.5 rear, 4l60e, 18" rims ....(currently in the final stage of a frame of renovation)

This is the LS2 in my 65 El Camino.

1985 El Camino SS with a 2001 5.3L /4l60e and a 3.73 8.5" rear, performance tune by wait4me

Stock 98 F-Body torque converter. The car loves to hot lap and runs faster the more you hot lap it. Starting out it usually runs 14 flat, but if you hot lap it it will run 13.8`s.

Great as a DD in this config, got 14-17mpg in the city with a very heavy right foot :D . Drove it for ~20k miles in this config. Upgraded to a 6.0L now :cool: no track times yet, but I did put in a pseudo lean cruise and it gets better fuel mileage than the 5.3L 8) . Now I get 15-19 in the city.

1980 el camino.

2002 ls1, 4l60e swap.

all stock. probably about 290-300 to the wheels, no dyno. 23 MPG.
