Also, you should add affiliate links! I would certainly buy this stuff through your links
I don’t do any affiliate stuff, I signed up with Amazon but something happened, expired maybe and I never tried to do it again.
Awesome idea! Much gratitude. I'll be ordering tonight!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching
You are so right , looks like someone would have this swap down to a science.
I’ve got another lined up to do so let’s see how much I remember, I may have to go watch my own videos 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching!
It’s the little things that take the most time. I’m still amazed that a “professional” shop did the work before you
The more I work on this truck the more I keep thinking that I could actually make a living doing this type of work. Turn out honest work to the best of my ability is a fair amount of time.
This is how you eat an elephant… one bite at a time. I’m glad the pedal pictures out of that ‘52 Studebaker were helpful. Peace BDG.
There’s a lot of elephant here lol
I ran into that issue on the 51 Stude with the under-floor master cylinder. I actually cut the pedal arm BELOW the floor and welded in spacers to move it to the left 1 inch. Zeke
@susandechant I would of had frame rail interference with the clutch arm if I did anything below the floor.
👍👍✌️
How much did you pay? I love the video keep it up. (Also im 13 and my dream car is a el comino)
It’s not my car, and I never did ask what he paid for it. I hope you find one and start your build! Thanks for watching
You talk to much
Mute it 🤷🏻♂️
This is how a real el camino looks. No need to change appearence
It’s had a few appearance changes since this video. Cowl hood and some pro star looking wheels. It’s a solid car now though, he followed us on PowerTour back in June
Stupid shitkicker nonsense. What was the point of destroying a perfectly good motor?
What spring hangers did you use in the back, 2nd or 4wd? Did you use a drop shackle?
2wd hangers and shackles. Unless he went back and put a drop shackle on it.
That floor has been hacked to sh$%!! And that frame rail looks like swiss cheese with all those bolt holes in it. The brake/clutch setup looks great. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.
Thanks! New sub. I was looking for a reason my old one-wire alt drains the battery to ZERO overnight. I just got my 69 C10 back from a "mechanic" that rewired some stuff. He added a negative terminal disconnect and said the new EFI had a drain. It does a little but not enough to kill an Optima red overnight. I'm thinkin he wired it wrong. He did some other dumb stuff too. Time for me to work on it!
Glad the video was helpful. Hopefully you get it all sorted out and thanks for watching and subscribing.
gotta be the el camino
I plead the fifth….
There’s more than one car at the Left for Dead Garage that is capable of letting the smoke out of a set of tires. Looks like he’s pleading the fifth. 😂
Now that’s what I’m talking about…. Awesome!
I’d hate to be my neighbor 😂😂😂
We did it for decades and not blew up a single one with out these modern contraptions to rely on.
lol yea valve float was the limiting factor
Funny how people are not able to control the engine in a vehicle without the rev limiter
The factory supplies the feature so I’ll abuse it, it’s just fun music
If I only had a dollar for every time I use an exhaust pipe for a pillow #jackstandlife
20 pounds of $hit in a two pound bag. Those pedal centerlines seem pretty far apart. The Vair is 8 inched between centers. What’s the center distance on the Impala? My brother had similar issues on his 51 Studebaker/small block Ford setup. He did what you are thinking about. He cut the tabs and shifted the pedals to the left a couple of inches.
Not only did Ray Charles work on the Truck he also had 3 blind mice and a barrel of monkey's working on it. It was a circus I tell you ! And the ring Master is an IDIOT !!! I just don't know how else to put it !!!!! LEFT FOR DEAD GARAGE THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU I am so sorry for the cluster I dropped in your lap.
Hopefully I can get it to the level it needs to be, something you can trust and enjoy.
I always felt those cars should have air cleaners on them.I'm glad they went to a good home.
Panza makes a way better kit and always answers any questions
His is for sure nicer and the price reflects that. Both of these kits have their place for builds. Now that I’ve done this one, I’ll continue to use Russ’s kit unless a customer wants Henry’s kit.
It a miracle you have any hair left.
😂😂 that’s why I keep is short, can’t get ahold of it to pull it out.
I may have a couple injectors if you need them.
I hope it’s all good now.
did ya see the other Elco build on youtube that body swapped an elco body onto a 4wd honda crv
I think I seen a short clip on a Facebook reel, not seen the build yet.
For these older return style LS fuel systems, you need an ACDelco pump for it to function properly. Aftermarket ones fail and are cheaply made or have extra parts attached that aren’t necessary. I learned my lesson after I bought an aftermarket pump which looked very identical to the OEM one. 4k miles later and the float completely broke off inside my tank and took out the signal wire for the gas gauge.
The pump is a walbro.
Don’t give up. Stay focused. One task at a time !
Oh I keep way too many irons in the fire lol. Update video on this car went up yesterday.
Fk yeah man. I have a 64 SS that I stopped working on in 2010 when my dad died. I’ve been thinking about seeking it because the floors are gone. Had a guy restoring it back before dad died but I ran out of funds and a drive to do it after that. This makes me really want to try to do the floors myself. I was outside cleaning the whole thing out today as it’s literally been sitting with all the parts in it for like 14 years. It already has new rear quarters. So floor pans and trunk pan is pretty much it. Great work
@@DustinClarkSTL man get back on that thing and go put some miles down!! I wish I’d started on mine before my dad passed. Only reason I have it is because he thought I needed it. Good luck with it! Oh and thanks for watching
Glad to see the Elco started up....finally. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.
❤
What size convertor you running?
I just picked up an 88 f150 4x4 XLT Lariat. Originally from Montana. 302, 5 speed. My 3rd one of this. Love 'em! Great video, and looking forward to seeing what you do with her!
I put a lot into that truck and was daily driving it but it’s a perpetual pile. It’s now sitting out on death row because it wiped out the cam.
@LeftForDeadGarage oh man ...that stinks....Lotta work to replace a cam...been there.....sorry man.
@65f100352 yea I wanted that truck for a while, it was much more comfortable than my c10 and more room. Belonged to the wife’s grandfather so I was planning on keeping it alive but it just rejected living in a GM household lol.
@@LeftForDeadGarage lol! Maybe they know something we don't?
On the gas tank What sending unit or you using
Pretty sure Be bought the tbi sending unit.
@LeftForDeadGarage take your sending unit and unplug the the return on the sending unit
@RigocerdaCerda that wasn’t it.
I know what it is
I modified the sending unit, cover that in the next video.
@LeftForDeadGarage oh right cool bro good luck on your swap I started my 86 el camino last week need to put the gas tank back
The return was a non barbed 5/16 line, it looked like it should have been the vent. The vent was 3/8 and barbed to accept the two piece fitting to use a -6 fitting. So it was an easy mix up but with disastrous results. That all went in when I was just helping him finish the car, probably three years ago. Not sure if that will be next weeks video or an update video on the 49 truck.
Every time I see a video on this truck, it just keeps getting worse. I mean, how did the shop that did this stuff ever think that any of this junk is ok? If that truck ran, it would have killed her when the steering wheel came off
It’s pretty wild. I had another horror story find me about that shop too.
Great review video. With some luck and good fortune that could be a pretty sweet big block. Look forward to seeing how this one turns out. Be safe and stay well.
Budget engine builds peak my interest lol thought I'd ask you while I'm here do you know anyone with a ratty used set of std gm trw 427 pistons? My areas slap out lol
I don’t know anyone right off but I’ll keep an eye out for you.
Talk to Larry about Howard’s cams.
lol I’ve got one in mind, my idea has changed since I videoed this 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Nice score...Best Regards
What driveshaft did you use
Had the factory one cut down
Was the truck ticking ,im trying to figure out if thats my problem
It would on cold weather start up and was really slow to build oil psi.
Thanks
Great save on that adapter. Wow. Another hodge-podge of parts that don't work together. Look forward to seeing what's next. Trust you had a good 4th of July holiday. Be safe and stay well.
She’s coming together. I can’t wait to see her around town. Keep up the good work Peace.
Nice work
Fun stuff
One step closer........
