Details

This custom frame-off Pro-Touring 1972 Chevrolet El Camino is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 GM crate engine producing 520hp. Power is transferred by a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission that has been rebuilt using B&M Performance parts and is equipped with a Painless Performance Perfect Torc digital control unit. The engine is equipped with a GM Performance ECU control unit, drive-by-wire, Texas Speed & Performance cam and an upgraded valve train. It also has power steering and the engine bay is highly detailed with all wiring, lines and hoses meticulously thought out and placed. Putting the power to the wheels is a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 posi-traction gears. The hydro-boost-powered 4-wheel disc brakes use a Wilwood 6-piston DynaPro Big Brake system with drilled and slotted rotors. This custom El Camino sits on staggered 18- and 20-inch Billet-Specialties 450 B-Forged Touring Series 3-piece wheels wrapped in Nitto Invo high-performance sport tires.
