Complete Edelbrock top end kit, with modified camshaft.
1968 four bolt main block 406 cu in: 4.155" bore x 3.750 stroke.

It never over-heats, block was sonic checked, magnafluxed, and hot tanked before build for max bore and stroke possibility.
This thing is MEAN, it sets off every car alarm you pass, is louder than a Harley, and will be HATED by your neighbors!!!
Over $30,000 invested in this El Camino. Needs to be finished up.

I couldn't afford to get the rest of the stuff for the 496, the computer alone was $900.00 so I sold it.
There is now a vintage Edelbrock X-C8 Daul Quad Intake on the El Camino, along with a bigger roller cam.
It has the correct 450CFM mechanical secondary Holley carbs with primary squirters only.

Damn. I'd sell someone's kid for that. Too bad you don't live near me or I'd be looking at that thing parked in my garage. I love your El Camino!
Bump for an awesome car. |
