Sweet ride. Although I'm not so much into big inch stuff as I used to be, thats one clean and well put together ride. I'm more privy to the turbo stuff nowadays. Quiet and TONS of power.
Granted, you don't build something like this for economy... but dare i even ask what kind of fuel mileage (yardage maybe..) you get driving that around?
Nice Elcamino! Can't go wrong with a big block!!! Check out the first video of my friends 1969 blown small block on my videos. He just got it together. A test drive. That would be a cool race if it ever happened!
HOLY SHIT!!!! now thats a nice ass Elco!!! i got a 70 too. small block stroker with a 3500 stall.... but maybe....just maybe if i eat all my vegatables, i'll have a big block like that one day.
Thats a beautiful elky ! take care of it and dont ever sell it ! i have a 79 with a fully built 327 .......... kinda strange to have that cui in a 79 but thats what i got !! keep up the awesome work ! =P
thats a nice ride, it wanted to lift right up off the ground...thats teh same engine im dropping in my 85, but im also turbo charging it...Also i like the inside of the doors
id rather build my own engine straight from a bare block i dont like turn key crate motors i could make that power with a dart 400 short block just my opinion...
yeah the ZZ 572 is a fucking BAD ASS motor making like 650+hp right out of the box. I want one so bad for my 85 Z28 project car. But I am going to have to wait for now.
Yeah but you will need to change out the motor mounts for sure since they were made to fit small block motors. Also you will need sub frame connectors and you will have to cut out the wheel wells too. I went with an LSX 454 instead of the 572. It will fit but it will be a REALLY tight squeeze. You would be better off going with a 383 TT r something similar. I will have vids posted soon.
yeah i've got a buddy thats got a 81 camaro with a 355 (350 bored out alittle) but hes got a 527 motor that he might put in it but we couldn't tell with out setting the motor in. so thanks and we'll defenetly be putting in the 527 or a 454 or some big block and get some videos up
yeah those are 2 badass motors you will be happy either way. I LOVE my LSX454 I bought it from a friend used so I didn't spend quite as much on it and it was the best decision I ever made. It hasn't been modded at all and it was running 10.80's in a 2nd gen camaro.
I had to take out the firewall and run electric fans as well. Just make sure you get some stout motor mounts otherwise it will rip right off of them with all that TQ. And you will for sure need a cowl hood or a high rise hood scoop because the stock hood won't clear.

did the el camino come as a non post car in 1970 ? I really like that yr with camino's & Chevelles just think posts take away from a good design.

Yeah, you can't build a beast like that and NOT say "fuck fuel economy!"
But i'm still curios. The only info i can find is a 71 chevelle on Fuelly with an unspecified "gas v8"

This is all just an optical illusion, guys; the El Camino isn't moving at all.
The truth is, the ZZ572 makes so much torque that it's making the Earth rotate while the truck remains stationary. ;)
