'86 El Camino Build

You just need to let Rughead install that new injection system.

Lol, I used to get called Gutterboy every once in a while when I had my Barracuda. I do have my eye on an LT1 available locally but I already spent my fun money budget for the next few months on some new home speakers.

It's funny, thought I was the only person who ever saw The Wraith. Struck gold when I found the DVD a few years back in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart.

It has the 305 with a whopping 150hp. Not sure why they even offered a v8, the extra 20hp over the v6 probably just about makes up for the weight difference between the two. The 2.56 gears in back aren't doing me any favors either. Pretty sure it's the slowest car I've ever owned.

My monte carlo was originally set up the same way... Trust me the V6 was way slower.

However, as it stands, it will run forever.

It should, only has 121K on it and I only drive 5-6k a year. If it really starts to bother me I can add 100hp for <$1500

Good plan

[ca90ss]

It looks like 8's just aren't going to fit so on to plan c. For now I'll use the 6mdn44 and let the subs play up to 250hz or so until I get around to doing the door enclosures.




My hi-tech way of trimming the fiberglass around the speaker holes.




A little filling and sanding and they'll be ready to carpet after I can find a source for some carpet that matches what's in the car. Can't get started on the sub enclosure yet until I decide on amps so that's next on the list.

[ca90ss]

Looks like I found my amps, for $59 each I couldn't say no. I ordered 6, 1 for the horns, 2 to bridge to the mids, 2 for the subs and one as an extra just in case. I have the 4 channel in my other car and have been very happy with it.

damn, man! that is a helluva deal for those!

so tempting, doubt 3 would run on my intended wiring though.
