Dwight, the big cam & flat top piston 305, 248 hp.is a good combination in the wagon & El Camino. Same motor in the Camaro is 275 hp.

Re: '78-'87 El Camino V8 Stocker?
I'm not saying it is not a good combination with an auto, but the rating with a stick is 275 and the rating with an auto is 287. That's 132 lb difference in 11lb/hp class (G/S vs G/SA) or 138 lb difference between H/S and H/SA.

Re: '78-'87 El Camino V8 Stocker?
If you want to use 350 Chevy in g body, 1979 & 1980 Olds Cutlass Wagon 275 hp. Same motor as Malibu, Cutlass alu. Radiator support & hood. Malibu wagon 350 was hp wrong first time with Camaro & Corvette, Second time with Camaro & not the Corvette. Best 350 Malibu wagon run in the last 10 years i could find in Nitro Joe's stats was 6 tens under the old index.

So the Olds A/G body wagons got aluminum radiator supports and aluminum hoods, and the Chevrolets didn't? Did the Buick and Pontiac wagons get aluminum radiator supports and/or hoods? Last edited by 6130; 04-06-2018 at 01:06 PM. |
