I haven't seen one of these threads on here yet and searched so thought I'd throw one up. Post your engines and engine bays in your El Camino's! Stock or non stock it doesn't matter. I will be posting some of mine in the next few days! Also if you cleaned up the emissions, explain what you got rid of and how you did it! :nanawrench:
They all look very nice and clean guys! Mine I have now is totally nasty and rusted all over. I spent about 5 hours until 3 in the mourning last night and man it still looks like crap. I painted the stock air cleaner, brackets, blower motor, etc. I am going to POR15 my booster and master cylinder because they look horrible. I think on this one I am going to build the 327 I have or a 350 and paint it chevy orange (usually I paint my engines body color) and keep it very simple and clean. I want to get rid of all the emissions crap such as the smog pump, stock manifolds, vacuum lines, etc and have just the power steering pump, A/C and lines, alternator and that's it. I will not go with too much polished items on this one since its my daily driver but I will throw polished air cleaner and valve covers (ball milled polished aluminum, no chromed steel).
Keep the pictures coming guys, they look great! :nanawrench:
While I'd like to lay claim to the second picture, I'll have to stick with being the owner of number three. Its a ZZ4 350ci with a B&M 144 supercharger.
Skinyfisher is the handle, car name is "EL CHROMEO"
454HO Built this engine using most all the original brackets from the nearly dead 396 and reinstalled most everything back in its stock location just chromed, polished or plastic vacuumed chromed, cause I wanted it that way????!!!!!! :dontknow:
holy crap rename this the sunglasses thread... hell i even swapped those out i got my welding mask on now and still squinting, nice engine bays guys, hats off to ya :inlove:
Thats awesome man! So did you relocate the battery? Any mods you have to do to make it fit? I might have to do that might since I have both the C5 and Elky 5th gen!
