1960-348-El Camino
Member
Hi, all. I've been somewhat lurking in here for a while now, but have never posted. I originally came in here to learn about the W-motors shortly after buying my El Camino that came with a 348. I drove it, parked it and am now in the middle of freshening up the engine so I can get it back on the road. I know ZERO about building engines, but have learned a ton by reading up on them recently. My biggest thing currently is what cam to go with. I want a little lope and realize that the stock 9.5-1 pistons limit cam selections. I've narrowed it down to the 0950 cam from Show Cars or the 150291 cam from Crane Cams. Any input would be greatly appreciated. It'll be a street cruiser, here's what I'll be running:
1960 El Camino
700R4 trans
379 heads
All internals are standard size.
Engine came with 4 bbl Rochester, but I am going with a 3x2 setup
Stock 9.5-1 pistons
Not sure what rear gears it has as it's in storage and I haven't been able to check. It is a posi, though. That's all the info I have on the rear at the moment.
