Great forum/site, I have a 1979 elCamino from ebay (1200) with centerline billet wheels and bfg's ebay (350) just got a ss steering wheel (40) and dash (86) witch Im looking for advice installing. My most recent ebay score is an 88 suburban 454/thm400 complete driving car (695)
My plan is a 79 elcamino SS 454 1970 tribute. That is 1970 badging, stripes, wheels etc. also looking for input on that idea. I posted the prices I paid not to brag, But to illustrate how much fun Im having on a budget.
I look forward to sucking you guys brains for tech help and ideas.
I will have lots of suburban/chevy truck parts cheap or free.(3/4 ton 2wd)
Also a 305 thm200 that you can hear and drive until snow when I will start the swap. Greg

That would be a cool car to make a 79 SS 454 ElCamino. The first thing I would look for if I were you would be a 12 bolt rearend if you want to keep it all Chevy or a Ford 9" if it doesn't matter. The stock rear won't last to long if you get on that bigblock to hard.
