Actually I knew a few people who had your year El Camino but my one friend he had an late 70s one we used to do donuts LOL how much does one of those cost nowadays and thanks for your comment I appreciate it
This one is a pretty mild 383 with Vortec heads. It’s more of a torquey truck engine. I ran a 2,500 stall in it in a different vehicle and it was a little too aggressive for the setup.
@@tjsides1983 already thinking about maybe throwing a 3.23 posi in there. The engine has tons of torque, just hard to put it down with anemic 2.41s and 2.48 1st gear lol.
Stroke adds torque. Needing a stall is dictated by cam, intake, etc. I've built mild to wild 383's. Some as mellow pass a Smog test type to cammed up rev it 7000. The point is a 383 doesn't need a stall by solely being a 383.
Nice ride, don’t see many of these on the road anymore. Maybe in shows.
Thank you. There’s one really nice red one in my town, but yeah, they’re not very common.
Thanks for the ride Dude. Loved it
Thanks for watching

@@carlossantiago323 The 78-87 El Caminos actually aren’t too expensive these days. 5-10k for a good one.
nice dude
I think you'll get the bog out with a little more work on the carb. What size converter is it..?
It’s got a stock Th350 converter in a Th400. So it’s got a touch higher stall speed than a stock th400 but that’s it.
383's tyically need a higher stall converter. Last 1 i built had to have a 3200 stall with the cam and headers.
