That's a lot of work. Well done!

 

[fast86gn]

Very nice!

Sweet, I see the Riv cluster, where are the seats from?

Yep .. Exactly.
Saweeeet... a beautiful El GNino!
Seats maybe Park Avenue?
My vote for top of 2017 so far.

Great looking ride! Iroc rims look great on it too!

 

[Boxcars]

Thanks guys! Yeah, it's a lot of fun at the car shows, the chevy dudes looking with confusion into the engine bay expecting the ubiquitous small block, not to mention those who think it is.

Yes, those are seats from Park Avenues (2) - passengers along with 18X8" IROCs..

I LOVE IT

Sweet. I've always thought about doing another one. I got a lot of mixed opinions about putting a Buick power plant in my old el Camino 12 years ago but I loved it. I think next one will be turbo sbc.

What did you do for the fuel tank?

 

[Boxcars]

Your turbo-elky was one of those that inspired me to do my own and I did receive advice from you back when I put mine together. So, thanks again, and to your question about the gas tank, I was fortunate in that my car happened to be a fuel injected 4.3 chevy V-6, so therefore had the proper fuel pump hanger for the more powerful turbo-buick fuel pump.

Oh sweet. Yeah the gas tank is a big piece to have. I remember talking to you now. That was quite a while ago. Car looks good man.

Looks badass! Just stumbled upon this thread.

My first car was an '83 El. Awesome build.

 

[turbo chris1970]

Truly impressive build never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see a build like this

 

[robert duncan]

Nice job! How did you transition the engine wiring to the El Camino dash?

 

[Tim_D]

I like it!

Quick question, where did you come across the turbo 6 emblems located on the fenders behind the front wheel openings?
