I was originally gonna put the 350(above)in there but i found a nice L88 Corvette Engine that pushes 350 horsepower, then i found out that I would not be able to get the Vette engine, so i will just take the 350 and clean it up some. I already gave it a bore increase(30 over). I wanted to get the 454 from the Nova but its gone now so yeah. I do however want some more power for the El Camino, I will stick with the 350 for now, but i plan on building my own small block 350 from SCRATCH and puttin a lot of POWER into it. I'll always be sure to keep you posted.

I finished some of the little stuff under the hood. I got the motor mount put in. I also added power steering, power brakes, and some nice new high performance springs and shocks. The brakes were originally old drum brakes but i put in disks. I'm workin on gettin either this thing on air or getting some gas shocks but i'm gonna leave it like this for now. One of these days i will really fix this thing up(stainless steel brakes and stuff like that etc.), but i truly dont have the money right now since i am spending my own and dad is keepin it all on a VERY tight budget so i dont go overboard.
