About

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. Was my daily driver from November 2004 to September 2009 when I blew the factory th350c trans in it.

Specs

'71 El Camino 350 with Petronix 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.

Factory Options

Power Everything, A/C, no posi :( , was there really anything else?

Mods

350 Swap, Jet Hot coated Hooker long tube headers with a X-pipe and Flowmaster 40 mufflers dumped before the axle, Petronix HEI upgrade kit and Accel cut-to-length plug wires and header plugs, Edelbrock Performer Air Gap Intake, Holley 670cfm Street Avenger carb, Moroso raised base air cleaner, and dual electric two-speed fans. Complete front end rebuild with 3" OPG drop springs. Fiberglass 2.5" cowl hood, fabbed valve covers, 86+ dash/console trim, B&M Pro-Stick, 5" Automoter tach, small stereo, modded A/C delete heater box, Grand Prix fender, core support, frame braces, and custom rear seat brace.

Putting together parts to install a built BRF Grand National 200-4r OD trans I bought built to hold 700 horsepower.

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.
