BUILD THREAD 1987 Chevy El Camino

Happy superbowl Sunday,

Got another quick question for everyone. Does anyone run a full manual valve body transmission on the street? If so, how do you like it?

Have to remember to shift back to low every time you stop. Every time. Easier with certain types of shifters than others.

My car is a hand full, so the shifting back to low is not that big of a deal.


Get a price quote on a 2800 stall while you are at it. You have a fairly healthy duration cam.

I found a company that modifies Winter's Sidewinder shifters that allow you to control/shift electronic transmissions without buying a stand alone controller. My El Camino is a budget build and it won't be driven daily. Plan is to get RAdesigns 4l80e Winter's shifter and line controller to adjust trans pressure.
