Hello all. I just purchased a 78 Elco with a 454... yes nasty I know... First off I figured I would let y'all know the plans I have for it to become a sweet street/strip machine. I want to pull the 3 speed manual and put in a TH400 first and foremost. The add a new intake manifold, and...

Hello y'all, I'm Marcus from East Texas (Pittsburg/Mt. Pleasant area). It's good to connect with fellow "ElCo" owners, as I have found out that we are a small, but distinguished bunch. I bought my first El Camino 6 months ago, a 1973, and love it more and more every day. The car was more of a...

been trying to do my research lately and from what i've found so far it isn't too big of a difference in price to do just a regular rebuild than to upgrade it to a 496 stroker...

Here's my dilemma: I want to tow about 4000lbs with my 72 Elky. I've got a basically stock 350 w/350 trany that's nowhere near up to the task. Pouring money into the 350 would be fun, but not the best option. I've boiled it down to two possibilities. A guy close by sells very clean LS1...

i've got a stock 454 7.4l in my 74 Camino and i'm looking to upgrade the horsepower, right now its got the rochester quadrajet on it and an older edelbrock air intake on it but not sure of which type. i'm looking at a Holly 870cfm carb but would like some input here. there's not enough room...
