EL CAMINO Pulled the trigger

[Gremlinsteve]

Decided to pull the trigger on anew motor for my elky today
Going with a 355, about 9.5 compression
And a hyd roller cam with 224/230 duration numbers at .050
I’m excited today the least

Congrats, how quickly can you get er' in?

Should be running two days after I start

I’ll need to visit my local (not so local) muffler shop for a rework since I’m using a like new set of Edelbrock tes headers

New engines always result in boners. And this is a good thing.

Good luck with the install!

What cylinder head are on it? Enjoy your new heartbeat in the car!

 

[melloelky]

is this the same car you had for sale not to long ago?

 

[Gremlinsteve]

Yes sir it is. I figured it would be more enjoyable with this 355

the current head on the 355 is a rebuilt iron tbi truck head. I currently am building probably my last set of heads to replace those though
There made by tfs and are called super 23s
