The Flowmaster mufflers sound like older 2 chamber version. Classic sound 👌🏼 Roxy is adorable 😊
Randy, the code on the engine V0911CKX reads like this: V= for the Flint, MI plant - 09 = September - 11 = 11th day of the month - CKX = a 350-2 barrel out of a model year 1973 Camaro. I can tell you a lot more if you contact me with block casting number, cylinder head casting numbers, all the other stuff is after market (maybe the heads too) Here's an image I created, the page from a book to show you the year and an insert with all the info for the CKX engine. CKX was also used in a 1975 Nova: 350-4 barrel. And for a 1976 Corvette 350-4, this is the L-48 engine. All three engines have the smog era 8.5:1 compression ratio. i.ibb.co/9HJm7rm/Randy-Engine.jpg
Roxy is such an adorable dog, can't wait to see where this project is going
Randy, you lucked out with thst El Camino. She may be bent and broken, but she has a heart of gold. One of the best donor vehicles you could get. She's broken enough to not be tempted to rebuild it, but still has pleanty of parts.
Thats a Small block 350....such a timeless body style...Nice buy man!
Regardless of the body in the rear you have a solid front clip lots of good chrome and a very good interior. Not only that you have what seems to be a very solid drivetrain, it's very sad about the rear fram but you are giving life to another or possibly two other vehicles and that's amazing.
We should be careful on Money disposal, if you are not spending to earn or get back money,then stop spending..
Is there anyone who knows about this crypto currency trading and investment stuff? I need to get into it please..
I really wanted to trade Crypto currencies but got discouraged by the fluctuations in their price,.
The biggest factor that separates the "expert" from the beginners is knowledge investing with an expert is utilizing that knowledge and experience till you become one, smart move..
@@willsdarley3909 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Bernado Green his strategies are really good in binary options..
@@wisdomsolomon4432 Yes I do agree with you, I trade with expert Bernado Green , came across his name in an investment magazine. His trading strategies are top notch..
Look at block stamping numbers on driver side rear of block to identify it.
Check behind the left cylinder head for the block code cast into the block just ahead of where the trans bolts up, then look it up online. that will tell you engine size & year range & maybe the model it came out of.
To ID it, look at the VIN stamped on a pad behind where the alternator is and then Google that. You could try looking up various casting numbers but the VIN is easier.
How many of you watching this video on your phone got fooled by his message ding and stopped to check to see if you had a message? I did lol
I did too lol
Twice
Me too lol
Yes LOL
Roxy is so adorable. The belly rub is always welcome. She missed you.
Heeyy.. belly rubs are grreat! Lol
@@ccross1210 need more of them
@@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal yesssss yes lol
That blue El Camino is the greatest parts car, now you need to find one with a good roof and body.
That was someone's pride and joy
I think it's a 383 stroker. my dad was all about them. summit racing had a kit you could buy back in the day. It sounds exactly like the one he built in his 75 Camaro.
Tie the frame to a tree and drive forward, see how straight you can get it lol
He could fix it if he wanted to keep it he just don't want an off frame restoration which would bring the value back in it and he could but all panels
chain and a truck works well. fixed a few bent frames this way in the past.
@@chrishoward7645 not fixing this one that way lol
I've seen where people repair the frames rotted out in that area, this one must be from a dry climate or well taken care of (garaged).
What a shame that El Camino got so bent up, it was real nice!
It lookes like the moter bent it
The rear axle is a 7.5 if it was the 8.5 it would have the wide corner at the bottom where this one has "fangs"
If you put one of those compact spares on that right rear you should be able to move the car around with the tire exploding.
Get the third El Camino. They actually did make an El Camino with the SS Monte Carlo front clip, so if the one you were talking about in the prior video is a real SS El Camino they are not that common anymore. All of the GM "G" body cars were great and very cheap to work on.
Gm never made an el camino with the monte carlo ss front clip. There was an after market company called choo choo customs out of chattanooga tennessee that sold a conversion kit. the oe monte carlo front clip is wider than the el camino front and won't directly bolt on
You can cut the roof from that do camino put it on the GMC. Version use the front clip and they do sell roof use the window windshield and tires then with the left overs get a Monty Carlo with no motor lol
Hey Randy, Always Enjoy Your Videos Man.. That Has A Cammed-Out 350 Or A 383 Stroker..
When I worked at u haul we fixed all there wrecked trucks. they were self insured. we would hook the bent frame to a forklift and give it hell with some heat on the part you wanted to straighten until it was good enough.
I vote a 70s camaro without a engine as a good place for this engine.
Or a 70s Firebird with a blown engine
Yup great parts. Randy the metric transmission was also used in Buick grand nationals tranny can handle horsepower with a little work
Look behind a block from the distributor tower right hand side should have numbers on it it should say 0010 the number
Gotta love Roxy! Her distorted back leg does worry me and it breaks my heart that anyone responsible for this beautiful dog would allow her to suffer like this. Keep up the great work and I do believe a third El Camino would be well worth it. No one appreciates these cars, which continue to become more rare as they become wrecked like this gorgeous blue ElCo.
by the sound of it i bet it is a 383 Stroker that means a 350 bored 0.30 over with a 400 small block crank
That el camino has a good motor and drive train she's gotta be swapped into something else another el camino would be nice you sure do find gems out there Randy!
Can't wait to see the third El Camino! Save all of them that you can. Would love to own one eventually but they're few and far between in my area.
Quickest way to tell a 350 from a 305 for future reference is the timing tab 305 it’s on the timing cover 350 it’s mounted on the side of the cover
Randy, I would like to purchase your El Camino Project Car when it's completed. I have always loved these cars since my grandmother always purchased Monte Carlos every other model year no matter how they looked . I'm willing to drive to Oklahoma to pick up the car and share any video content with you of my journey. I'm not TH-camr but I have been a loyal fan of yours for almost five years. I have never owned a muscle car, but enjoy watching you restore them and making viewers dream come true.
Love Roxy!!! So cute. That will be a great parts car!
A lot of good parts on this el Camino! Too bad the frame is bent! Roxy is too cute!!
It's ultimately a small block Probably a 355 with a mild cam.... buy the third one with the Monte SS nose and keep everyone interested and the content interesting .... hopefully you can make two decent El caminos out of three :)
I love this series !!
THM 200’s were very weak transmissions. Designed for low powered 6 cylinder GM cars but they found their way into full size Chevies with 305 engines. Transmission shops made a ton of money off of these.
In my opinion, if you have another one ,use the other two for parts to make the the one you found a better car. You also will save money on buying parts.
YES, buy the 3rd El Camino!!! And you need to build at least one good decent runner...
Get cast numbers off block and decode, simple as that
CKX suffix is three possible 350 engines.
Two possible L48 4 bolt main blocks with that suffix came in a 1972 OR 76 vette.
The other possibility was an L65 350 with 2 bolt mains that came in a 1973 Camaro.
The block casting number behind the LH head won't tell you what main caps they machined the casting for. Only way to know is to pull the pan.
Looks like a Tree Fiddy! Mid 70's era.
dang randy, your Facebook messenger chime can get a married man looked at strange 😂😂
I don't have a problem with the junction [s] in the rear brake line. The restricted loop, however. Junctions are legal up here in NS Canada. Compression fittings are a firing-squad first offence.
It's a 350 small block high compression it probably came out of either a Malibu or a Camaro I'm thinking it's not an LT1 like you think it is cuz LT1 wouldn't have been around at that time it would be only in the Z28 and I'm thinking it has the small heads with 194 s
Randy strip it down and get everything off it and put it in the other El Camino. Frame damage is a nightmare. Store the motor for another project since you’re keeping the other one original, which is cool 😎. Then scrap what’s left over and get some of your money back. You’ll make it up on the other one . You can always sell some parts online to and make some money back.The other one sounds like a good runner. I would go with that one too !!!
Great video, i am excited😀👌
Roxy is so adorable🤩
SB 400 is externally balanced so the balance on from will not be round. It will have balancing places.
Can't wait to see you cutting this one up.
Oh gowd I think I'm in love with Roxy 😍
In the shape it's in, I wouldn't drive the El Camino.
I mean, you have all kinds of messed up things under there, but that does not mean it's not useful.
You can take pieces from it, to use on another truck.
I mean, it runs, but doesn't really work.
Thanks for the video, Randy.
On my iPhone your closed captioning is in Vietnamese. Just thought I’d mention it. Looking forward to seeing what you do with all of those El Caminos!
i still say cut it up for parts and the body for patch panels where they can be used
I am building an 87 right now. Would love to buy some parts, and offer info if needed. Ihave built a dozen or so.
400 were externally balanced. Easy to identify.
Put the drive train out of the blue one into the SS you found cut the roof off the blue one and put on the brown take parts off blue one and make you two good elcominos they are getting collectable
Are you toying with us Randy? You've got to be toying with is.... OF COURSE buy that 3rd El Camino. I'm sure your audience is unanimous on this decision !!! Can't wait to see these videos !
Buy a third and a fourth and make two lol 😆love your content
I don't care what those other guys say, I used to own a body shop and we fixed worse frames and quarter panels than that. A good frame shop can pull all those kinks out of that Blue one! Take it to one and have 'em give ya an estimate!
I think you may need a third Elco to make one good one.
hey randy so for the engine ckx is a 350 the production year 72-76 used in corvet vettes and camaros and the v stand for assemble and casting in flint michigan and the 0911 is for the month so september 11th was the production month so the engine in short is a 350 engine made ins 1972-76 built for a camaro or vette
Thank you!
Those rims are so nice
Roxy, I'm instantly smashing the like button.
If you could weld, I would say to cut the top and windshield frame from the Chevy and attach it to the GMC. It shouldn’t be too difficult for a pretty decent body man to do for you. Perhaps Mike (Santa’s Workshop) could help you or direct you to someone who could do the job. I’m pretty sure Weird Beard could handle the job but, I don’t know how your relationship with him is presently. Once that is accomplished, do a swap of the complete drive train, interior components, and trim pieces. Scrap the Chevy remains and keep the engine and trans to sell or use in another project. That’s a lot of work but, with the two that you have, I don’t see any other options..
Get the numbers from behide the drives side valve cover on the block that well tell you what you have
I would use the roof glass and maybe interior off this one for the gmc and just pull the drivetrain and strip any other misc parts like lights then scrap the rest
I always loved your videos keep up the great work man
Randy how are you love watching your channels always great content
seeing a lot of good parts if you have any left over that you don’t need i’d probably take some
There's good sheetmetal in that thing that someone up north may buy, at a decent price, for rust repair on a rotten northern car. Whatever's left could make you money. Left quarter inner and outer, both doors... El Camino specific parts and hard to find. Front clip's common to other Malibus but again, no rust.
Nope El Camino only
I'm thinking you need a tree and a chain at least you might get the tire away from the frame to make it easier to move around
Not sure if it is a 4 bolt main 350 but if it is that would be worth it for sure. Also maybe it is bored out and made a 383 stroker. The engine might just be the best part of that blue el Camino.
You can look at the stamped engine size on top back on engine drivers side it's close to the distributor
Beginning to look like El Camino junkyard , maybe 2 more before you get it right.
A good body shop would be able to cut the roof forward of the damage and the A pillars from the Camino and graft them onto the Cab using the windshield as a measurement guide. Not too hard of a job...seen guys do a lot worse! Then swap everything from the Camino to the Cab.
He shouldn't say that the body is done he clearly never researched anything about auto body. For someone who keeps buying fixer uppers he doesn't seem to have an open mind or much of an imagination.
Not everyone is a body guy. I'm sure he'll figure it out.
That's a 7 qt Trans-Dapt oil pan They're made to fit a 1955 - 1978, 283 to 400 Chevy small block.
7.625 rear the 2 little fangs on the bottom gives it away.
also love the el camino content i own one myself
I believe the small block 400 are extremely balance
Could also be a 383, 350 block with a 400 long stroke crankshaft.
I would rip out the motor transmission and if the rear end is a positive unit but also to help curve the cost take the front clip off got to be worth 500+
I'm guessing it originally was a chevy V6 car since it has the 200C. I'm looking for a set of those wheels for one of my 80's Elcos.
Not sure on that because I have had not one but 2 factory olds 307 v8 86 Buick Regals with the factory th200c transmission, although the 1st one was a factory th200c car it was it's 4th transmission, and it was a s10 transmission and still junk
@@richardbates2367 Yep, I wasn't aware they used the 200C with a v8, maybe they felt comfortable with the anemic v8's of the time. The 5.0 in my 81 Elco came with TH350C and my '84 Elco with 231 has the BOC TH250C, both have been trouble free and honestly, the TH250C amazes me it's still going, must have a million miles on it or at least over 200k, still shifts like a dream. Basically the same as TH350C except 2nd gear clutch is a band.
I've never been inside a 200C but I'm gonna guess the 200C has a bad rap partly due to misadjusted TV cables. They're pretty light weight so the 200 version I think people use for drag cars (beefed up no doubt).
Pretty sure the 250/350/C are longer so you have to swap driveshaft and crossmember if you go that route.
I've got a BOC 200C sitting right here on a chair for years, no plans to use it but can't bring myself to toss it, either.
@@richardbates2367 I thought the 4-speed 200R4 was in most GM cars by 1986. Gotta get the TV cable correct on these too else by once or twice around the block they fry from low pressure.
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 ,car was a 86,s10 was a 84
You need the block numbers most 400s are 509 two bolt 411 4 bolt
Have to run the block numbers on top of block behind driver cylinder head. Hard to see but thay are there
The muffler's look like Flowmaster Super 40s. I have those on my Dodge Magnum
Hello Randy. You should watch this video: Transforming A Grocery Getter 83 El Camino Into An SS Elky _ Keep up the good work.Greeting from Venezuela!
V0911CKX = Flint Plant - September 11th - CKX = 1972 Vette 200HP 4 barrel; or 1973 Camaro 145HP 2 Barrel; or 1976 Vette 180HP 4 Barrel, and all were automatics, you need other numbers off the block for better information.
It's Oklahoma done, in NYC it's next week's rebuild 🤦🏿♂️
Hey Randy! I hope your doing well. 🤘🤘
I wish you could save this one other than the other one. Remember kevin costner got one in the bodyguard movie!
Shame it got hit. That frame was solid. Rare to find a solid metric car here in Iowa.
If the balancer has a weight inside,its a 400 or 383,they r externally balanced,on the drivers side rear of the block there is a series of numbers,that will tell u what engine u have,just google it
Randy , 1976 350 from a corvette originally with an automatic according to the casting numbers you posted on IG .
4 barrel 180 hp
Smog engine blue block
Great option to buy another one and use those parts from this smashed one
Do you think Vtuned could help with the frame and body of the el Camino?
Check the the block stamp by the bell housing area trans is either metric 200 or 200r4 and rear is a 7.5 and if you sell the tail lights let me know I’d be interested in buying them
7.5 10 bolt
CKX is either a 1972, 1973, 1976 350 4bbl.The trans should be a 200r4. The rear is 7.5.
Any possibility of finding a body frame from a salvage yard alongwith other body parts.. may be a project for your fellow youtuber friends.
Paul at fab rats on youtube could tell you the engine & tranny & rear end info he knows all that stuff ! I left him a message to check your video out & help answer them !
Check under the hood in the back of the engine block on dr side
Should be casting #
