I will be in the Atlanta area for most of the month of april. Anyone around who can talk Turbo?? I am just starting to learn the ins and outs of my '84 El Camino with a GN engine. Gets a good bit of attention here in S.W. Florida. Sam

Hello again. I am not exactly new, since I have been watching, and reading for several months, but I just got my T-6 El Camino up and running, and is it ever a Kick in the Butt!! Thanks to a lot of Tech advice from J.D. and a few others, (Ed et al), as well as a lot more $$ than expected...

Dash Got a full cover from "El Camino Store". Does a very nice job. Original was way beyond repair.

Finally just about have the T6 El Camino up and running. Grafting the GN Engine harness/ECM to an '84 Elky frame harness almot proved too much. Tach is still not right. Many thanks to J.D, and Ed locally for patience and advise. Check: www.84elkybuildprogress.shutterfly.com Pix follow...

The T-6 Elky, "Sleepy Hauler" is almost ready to get on the road. Still bouncing between electronics, interior, muffler, and mechanical shops. 6 months, and a lot more $'s than I would like to admit to(esp. to wife). The site: http://84elkybuild.shutterfly.com The progress to a point...

Gotta love: "Will Spot you 2 or more cylinders" Sam

Sounds really interesting. I am building a strickly street 'Round Town Hauler', sort of. Will try to find out about the custom chip once I am up and running. Shooting for about 350hp, normal bost? Have most of the remains of an '82 El Camino that I started with if you need the next project...

Looks really good. Now I want to get up, hobble down to the shop, and get mine up and running. Wll have to wait at least another month. Got anymore pix?? Sam

Hi Gang, Thought I would have a good ride by now('84 ElKy with T-6 motor). Planned to get most of the work done at a local shop befoe I went into Surgery for a bad Knee. Due to porr choice of Engine supplier, and overworked local shop, I am still wating, now with knee suspended from bedpost...

Engine Rebuild A Vinyl sticker survived on the Turbo Shield?? I thought that thing got to be 1200 degrees or so. Just left mine to be Jet powder coated. Wanted to do a little color, but Black was all that was available in High heat. The wiring harness has a connector for 2 fans, but only...

Engine Help TurbuRick, Thanks for the reply. Any idea on the fans? One or two. All I have seen have two, but one supplier says one big is all that is needed. Sam

Hi Gang, I am building an '84 El Camino powered by an '87 T-6. No badges except a small "Turbocharged" tag on rear tailgate (so they know they ' been had'). Motor was supposed to be supplied as a turn-key, but was far from it. Will not give names at this time. As I assemble the rest of...

'84 T-6/ El Camino Build John, Thanks for the info on the fuel lines. Found the shortages. Elky is built on Station wagon chassis. Regal on Coup. That is difference. Flex lines work well. I have had custom dash built by "Wabbit Bill" in Tx. to install in existing Elky panel. Seems...

Building '84 T-6 El Camino Glad I found this part of the forum. I am currently building an '84 T-6 powered El Camino. Plan to have a complete sleeper, with no badges, except a small "TURBOCHARGED" plaque on the rear tailgate. Hope to be up and running by Nov. I started with a '82 body/no...

New to the site Will check it out. I was trying to find the button for "New Threads" and still have not, but anywho... I did not realize the T-6 had such a following until I started this research. I have a feeling I will be on the site asking A LOT if questions. This is quite an...
