Too much new stuff to list.Īlso bought a good used Saginaw 4 speed and have the flywheel (machined) and pressure plate for it. Also comes with a an extra (good).010/.010 4 bolt main bare block and extra crankshaft.

Rear one missing.īought a good running 350 Chevy V8 that came out of a 1968 Camaro. Only have one bumper and believe it is the front one. Also have all the original SS molding that was removed from the car. Brand new 2.5” dual stainless exhaust including stainless mufflers. There are tons of new parts that are included with this car. I’m told that a 66 Chevelle SS instrument panel bolts in and gives you all the gauges including tach. Has bucket seats and at some point, it had a 4 speed in it. The hood is rough (bondo), but repairable. They did not make a 66 El Camino SS, but I have a 66 Chevelle SS hood for it (no SS trim pieces, but available online). Filled in all trim holes on driver’s side and all but door on passenger side. Some rust showing on front passenger quarter behind wheel, but minor and easily repaired.

At last count, over $11,000+ in it, not counting my labor. The factory 12-bolt got a makeover with posi traction and a set of 3.73:1 gears.1966 Chevrolet El Camino Additional Info:īeen collecting and stashing new parts for this El Camino for almost 3 years. He used a McLeod twin-disc clutch to mate the pair. They supplied the shifter, hydraulic clutch system, and driveshaft to make the swap happen. The salvaged LQ9 didn’t come with a transmission so Michael got a T-56 six-speed manual from American Drivetrain. The Muncie four-speed he had probably would have held up, but the perfect mate to a modern engine is a modern transmission. Sanderson shorty headers and a 3-inch exhaust system with Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers complete the bolt-ons for this one. Michael chose March Performance’s billet front drive kit to clear this front-steer A-body. This allowed the Chevrolet valve covers to be exposed for a cleaner look. Santa Rosa Resto Rods customized an F-body oil pan to clear the steering and crossmember as well as a custom coil mount to keep the coils off of the valve covers. The engine’s internals were left stock, but the truck-style intake made way for an LS6 intake with a custom air intake tube crafted from a Spectre inlet. It may not produce huge horsepower numbers, but it would make the El Camino see a whole lot more miles. Michael found a 2003 LQ9 (6.0L iron block LS-series) to put in its place with Chris Alston engine mounts. Bigger isn’t always better, and this swap proved it. He had a 383 stroker that produced over 500 horsepower then took it out for a stock, smaller engine. Who takes a completely finished car and rips the motor out? This guy does.
