This might not be for what most people are thinking, but... My dad and I are finally building up the El. Were going to put in a...



Type: 5.3L V-8 Small Block

Displacement: 5328 cc (325 ci)

Compression ratio: 9.5:1

Bore x stroke: 3.90" x 3.62"

Fuel system: sequential fuel injection

Rev Limit: 6000 rpm

Block: cast iron



To elminate that stupid problem all LS1 motors had. Were going to slap on a 4 barrel carb. This engine will also come with a rebuilt 5 speed trans. After were all set up were working more on suspension then engine internals.



My car on the other hand will be sitting around for lot longer than i thought. I'll be helping my dad pay for the parts for the El.

I guess it's not cool enough news...

slap my ass and call me stupid..... but what is a EI?



but it sounds cool anyways.

i was gonna ask the same thing.

eldorado or maybe el camino ?

El= El camino. Glad to hear you are not going the standard 350 route. The 5.3L is an awesome engine. Also props for ditching the V6 and also going FI. You sticking with a stock EFI setup and just running the factory harness or are you thinking about standalone (megasquirt?).

yeah, that el camino was badass!

lol el camino...not as cool as my old ranchero though lol... crucks rule! j/k

We'll see about a standalone. I actually wasnt thinking about that. Though I still need one for my car before i get one for the El. One of these days....

I vote you and your dad twin turbo the El!! Now that would be "cool news" Wally
