Almost five months...

...since last post. Nothing special happened actually, well... we did tried to start the engine while we had our garage's chrismast party in december and it did ran, but not great and we checked the pressure in the cylinders and #1 was a bit more lower than rest but not catastrophical low. I am now battling with taking the engine out and disassembling it, get it cleaned, machined, assembling it back together or just paying running 305/307 engine and drop it in for the summer or two and taking my time with the original engine or coughing up 3k for some LS-family engines that are now kind of flooding our market in here.

A year ago there wasn't practically any engines for sale, but now this winter there has been plenty of LM7/L59/LM4 or LR4 engines for sale. And not too expensive too. Easy 300 horses under your hood. Right now this option is not valid since me and wife are still financially recovering our long sick leave we both had at the end of last year. And that is one reason nothing hasn't happenend in the garage. Now we both are better, thank you very much for asking.

Last weekend I went short trip to my home town to visit my mother and pick up some parts for the El Camino. Actually parts are from 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, but those will fit.

Some dash wire harness.

 

Heater box.

 

Rear springs.

 

AC core.

Some AC vents for the dash.

 

Dash with round gauges!

And the guage cluster.
