About “Daily Driver SS”
Blue on blue, '78 Corvette Rally wheels, Flowmaster 40s, 350 swap, Long way to completion. I have out-dragged a lighter Z28 Camaro in this car when I had the 305, same engine, gearing gets this big beast rolling.
About “Beater”
Not much done to it, just a backup driver car, put something new on it everytime i get some cash, rebuilt motor and transmission, air intake
Specs for “Daily Driver SS”
'71 El Camino 350 with Acell ignition upgrades. Factory rated at 250HP/350LB-FTs with a two barrel carb, but everyone knows how engines were underrated back in those days. With ignition upgrades, long tube headers, and the air gap intake, i'm guessing 300HP/400LB-FTs going off the factory rating. I've been told i'm being conservative on that number. 215/65R15 and 275/60R15 BF Goodrich tires, More to come.

Mods for “Daily Driver SS”
350 Swap, Jet Hot coated Hooker long tube headers with a X-pipe and Flowmaster 40 mufflers dumped before the axle, Accel Super Coil and cut-to-length plug wires providing 40% more spark, Edelbrock Performer Air Gap Intake, Holley 670cfm Street Avenger carb, Moroso drop base air cleaner, and dual electric two-speed fans. Complete front end rebuild with 3" OPG drop springs.
A/C, cruise, and emissions delete. Yep, shes a polluter! No CAT, no pump, nothing. I reccommend anyone with an old V8 car to do this, taking off the cat really makes it sound like a muscle car.
