About “"PLumCrAZy"”

I Traded A 1979 GMC pickup for this EL Camino . Pickup was in geat shape , was just tired of it . Son Name it PLUMCRAZY because of the color . Its a work in progresss , Its got a Builded 350 engine thats so much has been done to it , Im not going into it here .But it will run like a scalded Dog . Its almost Done , Tranny is an auto. which I dont like and may be changed .It will Blow my MONTE off the road . Only thing I have to do to finish her is Window seals needs to be replaced and I want to to put fresh paint on her . Interior is perfect except someone liked sterio better then me and tore up dash stealing it. I have to find a new Dash . also I would like to put a 79 front end back on her ,other owner replaced it with a 83 model . I would like to find a 79 Lungna front end .




About “224whp & 219 ft/lbs”

I bought this in Dec. '05 to replace my totalled 91 sunbird. What a great replacement this has turned out to be. the wreck was a blessing in a good disguise.....

I got this car for 900 bucks. what a steal, eh? it has run a best of -

15.99 @ 83mph in the 1/4 mile *old news*
14.99 @ 92mph
14.84 @ 92mph
14.71 @ 94mph

Dyno'd 191hp @ 5600RPMs and 202 ft/lbs @ 4500RPMs, which pushed it to a 14.71 pass @ 94.54 mph. Ran that with a 2.07 60 foot time on BFG drag radials.

The built motor is IN, with much trouble and compromise.... but it is in, and it runs, and it drives :D it's got the lope, hehehe. vids (still) on the way).

Dyno'd it again a couple weeks ago with the good motor, 224whp and 219ft/lbs, still needs some tuning, it has some small driveablility issues on the street, but i've been driving it for about 3-4 weeks now with no major issues. got rained out + an ignition issue when i went to the track after the dyno, so i need to get out there again, 2 weeks tops for that....
