There are two locals with 350 Ram-Jet one is
as came from GM and the other had it's cast Aluminum plnimum
(sp)/intake
and assy chrome plated.. what difference that
extra brightness made to Eyes..
You have BTDT regarding all the
plumbing and wiring involved
You might want to look at Barry Grants new
Tri-Power set up.... Expensive but has that retro rodder look !!!
GL on what ever direction you choose..

I agree with the sedate part. One of the few
reasons I don't miss my ZR-1's is their complexity (and the C5's are much
worse). A friend of mine works at Mercruiser in the engine shop and gets paid
to build all kinds of interesting stuff. He sent me a nice BBC tuned port
injection set-up to install on my 427" but I didn't want to mess with all the
plumbing issues and miles of wiring,not to mention all the calibration
headaches. That being said,what do you gain by installing a late model EFI
motor in your El Camino other than a little more flash when the hood is
opened? A well built 383" or 406" first gen small block will make as much
power as you need,IMO,for a lot less money too.
Only speaking for myself,I think a Ramjet 350"
would be a cool addition if you wanted an efi set-up.
Well, you're probably right that the car couldn't be
built for $28K even with a starter car. I thought I'd give anyone on
TC and the mailing list first crack though. If nothing happens in a
few days, I'll put it up on eBay with a $28K-$30K reserve and see what
happens.
No definate plans for the Elky - still playing with
some ideas. Probably go with a small block this time and keep it
pretty sedate unless I find a deal on a big block setup. It'll still
be a driver with creature comforts such as A/C, P/S, etc and a
different-than-most paint scheme. It will be visually striking and
not a (dare I say without offending purists) a run-of-the-mill Marina Blue
or Bolero Red. :*) Pretty colors, but I'm into making
something different. Right now I'm leaning toward a two-tone scheme,
something like an apricot/copper hue over
silver/gray.
I haven't kept up with small block advancements so
all the LSx and LTx engines designations are still alphabet
soup up to me. Wouldn't mind finding a late model Z28 with a TPI
and automatic that's been wrecked or pretty well neglected to pull
engine/trans from. I don't know what engine/trans combos came in what
years so I'm starting to research/learn. Haven't decided if the 'WOW'
factor is worth the hassle of the new engines over a crate Ram Jet
350 for example. Anyone care to elaborate,
off-line?
