Here is the HP and Torque chart on my engine.

elmino's 1986 Chevrolet El Camino

I had my stock rear end rebuilt and made it a posi-traction rear end with a 355 gear. The rest of my restoration so far consist of a TCI Street Fighter turbo 350 trans w/ racing clutch and street/strip shift kit ( 3-speed auto ), 2400 stall 11 TCI converter, Summit Radiator, Good Year Hose kit, Chrome edelbrock 14 in. air cleaner, Accel Kool Blue 14 in. air filter, Hedman Elite Hedders, 40 series FLOWMASTERS ( Running true dual with out Catalytic Converters ), Single square angle-cut intercooled polished stainless steel Borla tailpipe tips, March Performance pulley kit, all new suspension by Performance Suspension Technology consisting of 1 1/8? front sway bar, 1? rear sway bar, Polygraphite transmission mount, Polygraphite body mounts, Polygraphite super front end kit, front coil springs, rear coil springs, Catapult rear suspension kit, engine mounts, new shocks, 2? steel cowl induction hood, American Eagle Wheels ( 15X8? on the front and rear ), BF Goodrich tires ( P235/60R15 on the front and 275/50R15 Compt. Drag Radials on the rear ).

Bruce Price of Price?s Automotive Service Inc. in Wrightsville Ga. is doing all the work for me. Cleaned the chassis and underside up and painted it a chassis black, Painted inside of the hood a silk black, painted all lines silver, Transmission and drive shaft is also silver.

The next project for my 1986 El Camino will have to wait until next summer. When I have saved up some more money or Borrow some money. I am going to paint the body with House of Kolor Paint. I am going with a three layer paint job. Ground coat will be a Trueblue Pearl. Then I will go on top of that with a Oriental Blue Kandy. Then clear coat it. I am also going to fix up the interior with bucket seats, new dash, new carpet mold. I am also going to improve my stereo system. I am going to put in a Kenwood KDC-X769 CD Receiver, KHD-C710 Kenwood Music Keg, 3 12? 12W3v2 JL Audio Subwoofers, 2 6? VR600-CSi JL Audio mid rang and tweets, Rockford Fosgate Amps.

Nice elky, man. you put a lot of work into it, good luck with the ground effects and bed cover. Personally i think it looks better how it is, but hey, its your car and do what you want with it. Check out my '79 Caballero and let me know what you think.
