Great video! Thanks!

I would watch wherever you take this one. Always like those unique body shapes. D

Nice job

You don't need an air conditioner I tore mine out of my 87 El Camino and I live in Yuma. Also tore out all the smog stuff. RUNS GREAT NOW 305 😎👍

Good job! I can see where a 350/350 would definitely be a lot of power for an El Camino. But you have it sounding great!

I'd Love to see it finished (with paint and all) ❤❤❤

1965 Popular Hot Rodding magazine did some research and found the rams head exhaust manifold was a big improvement over the log type manifolds like on the 265. A lot of kids in high school did that change as the rams head were plentiful in the salvage yards for cheap. Much later on engine masters proved that if you had to dent headers to clear the steering the HP loss was small on the Dyno. Frieberger beat the snot out of 1 tube.

Would really enjoy seeing more improvement to the El Camino as time and money allow.

Be sure to install a throttle return spring.

@ 33:30 . They sold it by the foot . Probably . Then they added the cost to the consumer at 1000% .

What’s your method for getting exhaust manifolds to seal? Permatex ultra copper?

Question would you consider installing adapting a C5 2000ish transaxle into a similar El Camino with a similar engine setup. The C5 Automatic is a 4 speed. C6 is a 6 speed. Later C7 are 8 speed. Thinking for a hobby cruiser 4 speed with 350 350 sounds great. And that transaxle will help weight transfer and traction. Later I want to add electric front wheel drive for a Hybrid El Camino. With batteries over the rear end and one pedal controller. Seeing some rough El Caminos at a reasonable price. What do you think? Would want to cram Corvette transaxle into that type frame. Then adapt the torque tube to the Vortec 350 350 or 5.3 if that's cheaper and easier, but 5.3 with 350 HP characteristics torque and sound. Dennis

In 2024 of course they are going to cost more
