planning a new stocker

Without checking the Class Guide but while still following your wants list. Early C10 truck, wagon or an El Camino would be different. Any 4 door GM cars that had a cop/ pursuit motor in them from the factory you could make into a screamer? I am all for different, but with parts support too.

Agreed! El Caminos are way cool,and the best thing about them are the trailing arm/coil spring rear suspension. Pretty easy and inexpensive to make them hook with 9" tire. And loosened up the front suspension has a lot of travel.

an El Camino is a good idea and would be a cool buildup.

It should be noted that the last gen Elky is 117 w.b. , whereas the Monte is 108.
The hook here is the Elky is now considered a truck ,and allowed the .430 lift cam.
Seems strange to me ,as the Elky was always in the book as a car, before there were truck classes.
Is the cam lift worth the extra wheelbase? Maybe , but maybe someone with first hand experience could tell us.

1987 Engine Blueprint spec list cam as .357/390 and Elky as Monty Carlo. No trucks listed for 1987 and no 262’s listed for 1986 Elky. Maybe the changes still need to be posted?
