★ 78 El Camino ★

[MrHernandez]

This will serve as my ally against short term memory loss... let it begin

Traded my 95 Volvo 850turbo wagon straight up for a 78 elky

After I brought her home cleaned her up, swapped the wheels, painted the grille, changed shocks, put a real gbody mirror on it, better speakers, fixed some electrical bugs, tune up, tinted windows, and put the door molding back on.

Just recently rolled a bedliner on and have started to two tone the interior with black

 

[MrHernandez]

Next on the to do list is put in sequential l.e.d. brake lights that the Awesome Larry from NorthwestMustang.com made for me, the first for a '78. Today I finished building my 305 vortec heads with all Comp Cams parts. Now have to find the time and place to swap in new heads, cam, intake, and carb...the whole top end really. Ill get pics as the projects take place

Got the L.E.D. taillights installed

 

[MrHernandez]

Started tearing down the top end and after got the heads off decided why not just pull the motor n trans and kind of degrease them and get a look at the rotating assembly. Putting in a 268HE cam, lifters, vortec 305 heads with comp internals, comp rods, dbl roller timing chain, performer rpm intake, edelbrock 600, and msd dizzy.
I'm not much on taking pics while working but took this one when I started.

 

[MrHernandez]

Aftet thinking about it and since its out I've decided to replace the rod & main bearings and oil pump...to be continued

 

[MrHernandez]

Got it set in the car today, still gotta get everything hooked up and straightened out.
