Welcome!  I don't care what anyone says, those models are cool. These are some of the last v8 'frame' vehicles around that don't weigh as much as a tank! 
 
 
Here's some pictures of an '87 that we put a 383 stroker in.  Now we just need a transmission to hold it!
 
Good luck with the project

Subject: [Chevelle-list] New to the El Camino world

Hi, I just purchased a 79 El Camino.  It is in fair shape but, needs some love and care. 
 
My first issue is that it idles rough and stalls out at times but, runs smooth at speed. I need to find someone local to my area (my area being Brandon FL) who I can take this machine to for mechanical repair.  Restoration will be later down the road.  It is my hope that someone in this group will be able to direct me to the mechanic I need.
 
Thanks for your help,  Lee
