I'm going to build it the way I want, NHRA Stock legal, race it for a couple of years, then put it on the street. And yes, I hope to beat $100,000 Camaros with my $10,000 Chevelle/El Camino.
Oh, and it will run V/Stock - or V/SA if Billy convinces me to run a Powerglide!

Marty,, I'm wondering if you can build a 250 in a '67 El Camino. The reason I ask is I bought a '67 Malibu hardtop back in '71 and it had a 250 ci 6 cylinder and a 3 speed in it.They didn't last long as I put a 327/4 speed combo in it a year later,, a fun car for a kid just out of highschool. I thought the 230 was discontinued by '67,, could be wrong.
