    i'll be doing quite a bit of this for the first time on my '72 el camino classic. picked it up about a week ago, completely original never been touched factory 307/TH350. and in amazing shape other than the rust. been off the road since 1986. have frame and floor issues too that i'll be tackling. i have a 68 body on a rolling frame thats from TN (i'm in upstate NY) so i'll have that as a backup plan.

    • @letsgetdirtygarage6197
      @letsgetdirtygarage6197 Před 6 dny

      The housing, water pump, damper and bolt kit I bought right from Holley. The alternator is a standard DR44 available just about everywhere. The compressor is a Sanden SD7 and the PS pump and pulley were generic type 2 versions from Amazon. If you go to the Holley website, they will have a PDF of the kit contents that you can cross reference part numbers. Thanks for watching!

    Gary, your ingenuity, craftsmanship, and tenacity are awesome! I am dazzled by what you've created here. On my Elco, I'm just going with a dash out of a mid-70s Monte Carlo, which is much simpler. But then, I couldn't afford a donor vehicle; I could barely afford the rolling chassis!

    I am doing the same thing!! 69 Elcam 5.3 from 2013 silverado, 6l80. I had to cut my tunnel out as well. I cheated and purchased a pre formed piece of sheet metal and welded it in. I also used the original cross member on tranny and it fits beautiful. I used the ICT billet motor mounts. how did you use the original motor mounts? I will try to upload some pics, I am almost ready to start engine. I have stand alone wire harness with pcm under dash on passenger side as well as AAW full interior harness and electronic tap shifter..that was fun installing. Ive never done this before.. great learning. I like your video it makes me feel good ,I think i am doing mine correct.
