Thread: Worth the time and money?

Tweet

Would it be worth the time and money to jam a BB into a 84 GMC Caballero. It's like an El Camino for those who don't know. The guy I bought it from says that was his original intention. I've seen them at car shows but I just didn't know how much of a task it would be.

I just want something to drive that I can punch the gas and not touch the dash.

Two Guys Garage did it on Speedvision. That car/truck uses the same Chassis as a 70's Camero, as far as I know. The fit is pretty good, but you have to change out a lot of the plumbing like brake lines and such. A big block in any car is worth the effort. Heck, I'd put one in a Mini Cooper if I had the time and money.

A healthy small block and a high stall converter will kick pretty hard coming off the line.

yes they fit and i have one nice 402 that needs a new home if you need a big block?

I'd love to have a BB but I am but a poor factory worker who has to settle for squeezing power out of a SB.

well i could make it hard to pass it up

i had 4 el camino with blown 454 in them. you don't have to change nothing if you don't want to. buy the headers for a chevelle chassis all of the el caminos in my web page has 454's. if i can help you, let me know. pat's 402 would work just fine.
