I would say in this case 100 dollars worth the gamble.Īt this point it is super tight to the crossmember.
I have still read stories that even with the holley people have had some issues but I have also read people have not had issues ). So hindsight is 20/20 but at this point with all the back and forth I have done and the 50 extra for the plates I suggest anyone else trying this to pay the extra for the holley. The other side is probably 1/16" of an inch maybe more. It must have been resting on the one side on the cross-member prior to this because I now have the steering clearance but I have still only about 2 sheets of paper between the pan and crossmember.

Inside, the standard version featured a bench seat interior and rubber floor mat from the low-line Chevelle 300 series, while the Custom used a more upscale interior from the Chevelle Malibu with plusher cloth-and-vinyl or all-vinyl bench seats and deep twist carpeting, or optional Strato swivel bucket seats with console. A new instrument panel with horizontal sweep speedometer was featured. New Sheetmetal highlighted the 1966 El Camino, identical to the Chevelle. The 1965 327 would run low 15s in the 1/4 mile (at some 90 mph), while 1966 to 1969 models were easily into the mid- to upper-14s. In 1966, GM added a 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8 engine to the lineup rated from 325 to 375 HP. Most of the other engines were carried over from 1964, including the 194 and 230 cubic-inch Turbo Thrift sixes, the 195 HP 283 cubic-inch Turbo-Fire V8 and 327 cubic-inch Turbo-Fire V8s of 250 and 300 HP The 1965 El Camino received the same facelift as the '65 Chevelle, with a more pronounced V-shaped front end, and a higher performance L79 version of the 327 engine rated at 350 HP that was also available in Chevelles. The shocks were continued over all generations, the frames only thru 1967. El Caminos also featured Air shocks in the rear, as well as fully boxed frames. Added to the El Camino's option list during the course of the 1964 model year were two versions of the 327 cubic-inch small block V8 rated at 250 and 300 HP-the latter featuring a higher compression ratio of 10.5:1, larger four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. The standard V8 was a 283 cubic-inch Chevrolet small block with two-barrel carburetor and 195 HP with optional engines including a 220 HP 283 with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. Initial engine offerings included six-cylinder engines of 194 and 230 cubic inches with horsepower ratings of 120 and 155 HP respectively. The 1964 model was similar to the Chevelle two-door wagon forward of the B-pillars and carried both "Chevelle" and "El Camino" badges, but Chevrolet marketed the vehicle as a utility model and Chevelle's most powerful engines were not available. In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero.Ĭhevrolet reintroduced an all new, mid-size El Camino four years later based on the Chevrolet Chevelle. market of an automobile platform based coupé utility.
