I've seen a million LS videos. This small block stuff and the comparisons of before and after, actually seeing the gains, is super entertaining to watch.
I love these builds! I grew up v8 swapping s10's with my grandfather one was a decently built 305 (dart iron eagle head's, Howard's cam, +.040 over 10.5-1 pistons, eagle rods, and a edlebrock Victor jr intake with a holley 650 carb thing was pretty stout made 370-400whp which was more than enough for those little trucks lol
Would be sick with a set of factory 2.02 double hump heads and some hand porting only issue is those iron heads take a TON effort to port they don't grind down like a aluminum head lol
Man this is great work and info for the people that want an idea to start a project car. An average car going fast on simple mods that are healthy on the engine. With a relatable low budget for the average Joe to make his vehicle fast and fun. Making a regular car into a head turner. Great job man 👍!
this is the first video I've seen of yours. it was definitely fun to watch and I'm going to check out the rest of the series. after seeing this and the KBR channels 305 upgrade series. I'm starting to change my plans. I have a big block ready for my elco, but upgrading the 305 is looking tempting. I have some 305 vortec heads I could put on it. I agree. I think your 214° at .050 cam is about perfect. I've been back and forth on a 207°, 210°, and a 215° cam. I don't want to lose too much low end, with the 2.41 gears I gave, but I also don't want to give up the horsepower either. what to do what to do.
Jackie boy!!!! 1st off Happy Turkey day my man 2and $1500 to cut time in half damn!!! That cam and intake that's a budget build for sure!! Love the G body build I had a 86 Monte Carlo SS in 99 when I graduated HS it was a 350ci and parts were hella cheap too!!!
So you are aware that 305 will happily take a 125hp wet shot through a plate kit forever. Had a buddy who tried to "durability test" a 305 with nitrous. He put over 100 10lb bottles through it before he did his motor swap. I ran a 125hp plate kit on my 350 for 5 years. I have 211 nitrous timeslips and never a problem at all related to nitrous except when a ziptie let go and the feed line got melted and leaked. Sbcs love spray up to a point and 125 seems to be a pretty safe number. Hell i even stacked a second kit on so 2x 125hp wet plates and pulled another 3 degrees of timing to put a hurtin on a dudes turbo awd talon and it was great. Plugs always looked good and never smoked.
For future mods it would be cool to see the work being done , I know you might think it’s boring but it would be nice to have tips and such when doing these mods
coming Jack in two weeks there will be a shift kit in the trans, it's still running after that you'll pull the engine saying you want to keep it if you ever sell it. Then it will be a ride from there
The one thing that chevy couldn't figure out back then was keeping the engine oiled when reved up high. With a better oil pump, pan, and maybe a cooler it should hold togeither better.
I'll say it again love this series. I don't know why but I need to see this thing into the 5seconds to 60 with this engine. Is the carb tunable at all? Ignition timing?
hey jack, i am currently trying to build my stock el camino with a 305 too and I wanted to ask you if you could make a list of the parts you used for the build so I can follow along.
Thanks Jack, I am after just what you've done here, I also have an "80's" El Camino (Conquesta) I just want to wake it up ... Also looken for economy how about instead of "the Juice" you do a fuel injection swap Sniper,Fi Tech, ...?
My first car was a '82 Pontiac Parisienne 305 in 2012, I regret selling it everyday. regret it even more knowing how easy it could have been to make it faster :(
Just live with the ute. It goes pretty good, no need to go ham on it. It will be practical as shit for a daily runaround provideded you arent an eco warrior. I dont think Clark rubber is in the usa, but get some rubber mats to line the tray to save scratching yet still just throw shit in the back, ute style. It will pay for itself.
Maybe a Msd Distributor? Do a fact or myth if the revs really are snappier and does the rpm really change even if its the slightest bit? Ive always been curious. Ive ran the wires but never the distributor
Set of used 305 vortec heads from a 1996-1999 305 pick up or van. DO NOT USE 350 heads on the 305!! You will need a different intake to match the heads, being we arent trying to waist monies on this i thinkvits true if you could find those and do a port job on them youd probably see some gains for cheap
I doubt it, it's carbureted. When it's carbureted you can just slap the mods without tuning it. That's why some people get their vehicles carb sawp. You don't have to deal with the headache of constantly tuning it and regulating the idle every other day. Or have a computer in your car.
305 most bullet proof engine chev made ,it's all that's powers the big old caprices and priesannes that are popular here in East coast Canada,they love the abuse.
Iv been watching this hopping you wouldn't go ball's out HP mode and ruing the character of this car,,,,, my love for el caminos goes back to 2007 when I was living near San Francisco, I found myself driving down El Camino highway listening to Troy Dodds " try my love ' on El Camino records ( I collect old 60s soul music too ) and ended up behind a El Camino for the 1st time , if you LS swap this you will lose all my respect lol, buy a toy one and mod that if you must lol

Ls’s are technically small blocks 🤷🏼♂️
@@lukebratek6425 Okay let me rephrase that. "old school small block stuff".
“ small block with nitros and carb” if you know you know
@@lukebratek6425 we all knew what he meant, sbc sbe whatever lol

*Jack, you are a "relatable" guy, and that's why your fans love you - no matter what you are working on.*
Facts. The everymans car guy
I appreciate that. Thank you.
@@JackCecilhey I might have missed something but what happen to this car
I kinda wanna see you do like a diy port job on the heads, I think that would be awesome
Would be sick with a set of factory 2.02 double hump heads and some hand porting only issue is those iron heads take a TON effort to port they don't grind down like a aluminum head lol
@@DigBick91 carbide rasps make iron/steel feel like aluminum
Gotta love a G-Body anything 🤪

Yes sir!
I love this type of content, small upgrades then test , then on to next upgrade
That’s what i thought. Better this way.
Love the lawn tractor and elco content very relatable and attainable.

Loved this build. Great to see the results that you have wrung out of this little engine.
Thanks!
Jack you rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Jackie boy!!!!
1st off Happy Turkey day my man

Love the G body build I had a 86 Monte Carlo SS in 99 when I graduated HS it was a 350ci and parts were hella cheap too!!!
Thanks! Same to you!
Mill the heads slightly to bump up compression and some slight port work and you’ll be surprised by the outcome. Well worth the effort
Ok!
Another cool project would be to find something with a little 250 I6 or a torque monster 292 I6, and slap a sushi slicer on it.

Noted
Great job, Jack! Keep the ElCo content coming! 🤟
i was telling my buddy to do a similar build in his 305 Camaro and he was nah i want a 454 im like dude you could have a decent build for pretty cheap
That view at 2:52 on the 0-60 was sick. Reminds me of Gran Turismo
Used set of vortec heads would probably give you 20-50 hp. Same valve covers but would need a different intake.
I’ll probably go for the world products heads to save my intake
I was blown away when you mentioned cleetus having a el camino and rudnick not knowing who you were talking about.
He doesn't want his viewers leaving him
I’m a fan.
coming Jack in two weeks there will be a shift kit in the trans, it's still running after that you'll pull the engine saying you want to keep it if you ever sell it. Then it will be a ride from there
Who knows!!
Yes dude didn't watch whole video when I made nitrous comment and then you mentioned it at the end I was like heck yeah
I love this series. Makes me want to do something similar with my Caprice.
A little juice wouldn’t hurt jack. Love this build. 200 shot and make a nice window lol
Microsoft motor.
The one thing that chevy couldn't figure out back then was keeping the engine oiled when reved up high. With a better oil pump, pan, and maybe a cooler it should hold togeither better.
A buddy in high school had a 4door Nova that ran mid 10's with a 305ci
Man that’s fast. I saw one somewhere called “Charlie sheen”. Looked pretty fast.
Love it love hp love all your hot rods from the scooters to the rx7
Perfect. I’d leave it and just enjoy the car.
I'll say it again love this series. I don't know why but I need to see this thing into the 5seconds to 60 with this engine. Is the carb tunable at all? Ignition timing?
It’s right there! A couple more tweaks.
Nice , love the simple changes!
This a 305? 😯💪🏿👍🏾 Thought it was atleast a 350! She moving n sound good
u definitely need to buy a Holden Commodore since they're legal in the U.S now, I know you would love one
Plate kit with bottle hooked to it lol nothing crazy like 75-100 would wake that baby up and be pretty safe
Sounds just like a gm lt4 top end cam. What I have but you better get springs. Awesome content
👍 I like that ...SS Mr.Jack...
Yes Jack lots more of those.😉👍
Ok!
You should build a 327 for the elco
I love the El camino. Diggin the content bruh

Have you put it on a wideband and checked AFRs? Might get some more by dialing in the carb 👍
need to spay it now just 100 shot
Oh man! Do a weight reduction on this car man! Some of the reducing weight is basically free and 0 dollars. Shaving off weight will help on speed.
Love to see more on this car
My first car was a '82 Pontiac Parisienne 305 in 2012, I regret selling it everyday. regret it even more knowing how easy it could have been to make it faster :(
I regret selling my 85 Caprice Landau. It was a 2 door 305.
Love the El Co !

You should recurve your distributor next. 36 degrees all in by 2500 -3500 rpm.
Cool air cleaner. Where did you find that? I like it.
I enjoyed this one!
Making me wanna cam my 350 before I put it in with my shift kit and 3.73 posi rear end in my s10
Nice job jack.if you lift the heads get your burs out and give them heads a port n polish?
For sure!
Can you do a garage update on ALL your cars.
I'm new to your page are you running a 305 or 350 engine?Damn you answered it soon as i asked😆
Yup. 305 doin work.
@@JackCecil love it..my 87 monte ss had 1 years ago ..it was strong 💪🏾
Aftermarket exhaust that beast
Glad you didn't go with dual chains jack.
Love the ElCo
Yeh the Camino Ute 🤤🤤😁😁
Cant wait to see the dyno numbers... 😉

Did you have to “tune” the car for any of those mods? I also have a 305 in my c1500 truck and looking to make it a little faster

Just now the SS will be hitting F1 0/60😂😂😂😂
Used to run Flowmaster on my G bodies
I have an 87 with a LT1 from a 94 ss with a 4l60e stock rear
305 is a decent v8
Get rid of that mechanical fan, that will free up some power
Would love to hear the chop with it a bit louder
I’ll need some cutouts.
Ls3 and a sc would be perfect
Jack for the love of God, get a nissan b13 sentra with a SR20...
305 most bullet proof engine chev made ,it's all that's powers the big old caprices and priesannes that are popular here in East coast Canada,they love the abuse.
I've got a caprice engine in my C10, but it's got about 101 more cubes than Jack's 305 lol
can you make it sound like a 454 big block rough muscle idle car sound and power? why not just do that? KEEP IT ORIGINAL
Do u have a link to the speedo corrector you used.
🔥🔥🔥
What intake manifold are you running?
Did you change the fuel and timing
On the dyno?
Yes i did. It will go back on the dyno soon
Iv been watching this hopping you wouldn't go ball's out HP mode and ruing the character of this car,,,,, my love for el caminos goes back to 2007 when I was living near San Francisco, I found myself driving down El Camino highway listening to Troy Dodds " try my love ' on El Camino records ( I collect old 60s soul music too ) and ended up behind a El Camino for the 1st time , if you LS swap this you will lose all my respect lol, buy a toy one and mod that if you must lol
Glad you like it!
Stroker carb sbc pls don't ls
Sb2 plsssss
👌
Need a stroker kit turn it into a 334ci
what engine is that? v8?
What intake did you get ?
E85 down road ??
- 👍 👍 🔧 -
Eh, LS swaps are too common now, be different. 2JZ swap. :P
Lol. That’d be a first i think.
decent carb next
Didn't realize u did intake manifold lol
Rb26 or rotary swap it
You just had to go there lol
Yoooo
