Welcome to ECC 76sprint82TA . Congratulations on your new El Camino. :thumbsup: It sounds like a real monster.

I once saw an 80 Cabellaro with a transplanted 455. The owner swore that it came like that from the factory. :sarcasm:

:mrgreen:

Flubber! However, :P in real life they actually only seem like they are flying because you will not let up off that accelerator! Slow down, there is a Little Nash Rambler trying to pass you! :cool:

ROTFLMAO
