The "77 Elco project

[Bill Creller]

I'm finishing my '75 El Camino project, while the G-body '87 Elco is " resting" !! he '75 has a few issues yet that I'm working on, like the speedo doesn't work, and the carb is acting up. It's powered by a 507 inch Caddy engine, and the 800 CFM Q-jet has been acting up......


The wheels & tires since this pic are new rallys. Still tweaking stuff, like that tail pipe !
This was a body off the frame project....

Engine appears like it belongs in there, but has a slightly rough idle cam, oversize valves in ported heads etc, and an oil pan I built to fit the chassis. It started out to be a daily driver, so I used the stock air cleaner with carb heat etc. Still need to replace the AC comp with a Sanden and new hoses...



Trans is a modded TH400, and rear is a Currie 9 inch Ford,,
