So, Ford decided to mimic Chevrolet BIg Block design for their heads... I always wondered if it's actually that close. Very good presentation. If it doesn't have the flame it's not a HOTWHEELS
Similar build Was done in the late 80s in Australia using a Australian Holden “ Ute” as we call them..ran a chev with blower onto a th 425. Rear body work was widened .. Nice job on this one 👍🏻

From years of car talk with my pops, I heard this was a popular thing to do in the 70's but mostly with Olds Toranado transaxles with all sorts of rear engine conversions. He even knew of a guy that had designs for an olds transaxle/455 combo to neatly fit in air-cooled Volkswagen pans (after cutting and fab) to create a v8 mid engine beetle. They had lots of wild ideas back in the day.
Perty cool what you can come up with when you're just hanging out at the shop and enjoying a few cold one's 🍺🍺 nicely done guys beautiful looking car 👍👍 😈☠👍✌✌🍺
This is the best vid of the building of this car that is on UA-cam. I followed his given link to his and his son's channel but there is not as much narrative about the tech specs on those vids. It's just a shame that your mic didn't have a wind filter on it, so as to be able to hear this incredible builder a little better. Amazing car!! Ya know how Olympic figure skaters glide at 20mph, on two 1/4" wide blades ON ICE and toss a girl up in the air and spin her and catch her and make it look so easy as to be GRACEFUL?? That's what it's like listening to this modest gentleman describe how he cut two cars in half, welded them together, reshaped the body and then hand-fabricated an entire rear suspension and all the control linkages, in such a matter-of-fact manner. His inspiration? A 3" long toy. smh..... Truly American engineering!! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I've always thought someone should build a truck like this, but with a really beat up looking truck, beautiful shiny engine in the bed looks like it's sitting on a pallet with cargo straps over it, so it looks like it's an ordinary beat up truck carrying this engine destined for another project. Maybe still have the stock engine up front driving the front wheels, so it can drive around normally. Then when they want to go fast, fire up the bed engine, which is secretly connected to the rear wheels.
I really wish I had a garage and the money to build something like this. I've got so many ideas and I can do most of the work myself. I just need the parts and a place to do it. One day ..one day....
@@shellyhowie3249 you have clearly never sat in a circle in a garage with the guys and bullshit untill you drink enough to take what everyone says seriously....
El Dorado or Toronado or Riviera front wheel drive motor & transaxle in the front!! I'll come down & help install it for free. Imagine the launch!! Even if mostly stock front setup
I got a 1975 Cadillac Eldorado convertible with only 55,000 miles on her and the 500 8.2 litre under the hood. You don't pass gas stations with that motor i assure you.
Now I thought mines was great ( wich it was ) but that is a cool camino ! And I think he may be slagging on that horsepower just a bit , ( and that’s “before” adding for the distance of the engine to the driveline, NONE Ha ), with all things considered I’d say equal to 700-800 conservatively !
Here in Florida's car show scene, you see alot of El Caminos, especially the boxy style, hence the name "El Commono". This however, does not fall in that catagory. Now I want one just like it!!!
Love the exhaust flaps my uncle hand stacks on an old jeep with the flaps always thought it looked cool awsome truck
The way he made everything work is awesome. 18 Coors Lights will have that effect 👍
Gotta love Coors-fueled American ingenuity! 👍
COORS WAS MY BEST BEER UNTIL I WORKED FOR THEM ALL ASSHOLES
Get that man some more Coors light ! He deserves it !
Surprised he's not sponsored by them...yet!!
Who in rice burner hell gives this a dislike? This is amazing!!!
YOU DONE A FANTASTIC JOB OLE BOY. HATS OFF TO YOU. SUCH A WONDERFUL RIDE
Wow, that's awesome! I wish I knew as much about cars as this guy!
He's always at our local shows. He's a super nice guy
You are an engineering GOD !!!
Great vision and follow through. 👍🏻👽
I was about to ask what was actually under the hood now I know and I suggest you put a fully stocked cooler full of beer under there
Bad Craziness! I love it! I saw complaints in the Comments section, but it all comes together for me. The raincaps are an unexpected finishing touch.
This is fantastic. My own fever dream of the same insane mod would be two ElDorados or Toronados under on El Camino.

I have had this same idea but was told it was dumb and wouldn’t work but glad to see someone brave/drunk enough to finally do it
I have the HW car never thought I would see real thing God bless you brother nice work!
That takes mad skill to do what he did ! Awesome build !’
I'll drink one on that awesome, build. thanks. Mike.
Very impressive build! 👍😎
I have this Hot Wheel! I never thought I'd see a life size version. Very cool!
It’s beautiful

This is my kind of person. Been waiting to see this car.
There was a Holden Ute back in the 80s in Australia called BloBak .. had a blown 350 in the pick up bed ....Look it up ....

That is SO cool. I haven't seen flappers since my dad quit working in coal mine.
This was done back in the 90’s in Australia with a WB Holden Ute

Nice touch with the rain caps
So now I know what I need
Wow what a hell of a car i love it
HEY BROTHER ...Great assembly
It’s not “how long will this project take?” its “how many beers will this project take?”
brilliant,i love this guy
Well Crafted Muscle Machine.
SO BADASS!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
Needs wheelie bars. And just imagine what he could do if he drank good beer.
Or if he drank no beer
@@shellyhowie3249 If he drank no beer he wouldn’t have come up with the idea. He as much says so.
@@shellyhowie3249 you have clearly never sat in a circle in a garage with the guys and bullshit untill you drink enough to take what everyone says seriously....
That may be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. It looks like there may be room for another engine.
1k 😎
GREAT CAR AND BETTER STORY. Love your brainiac mind creation
Chevy 4 LIFE
This guy knows his schitt!!!!
This guy is a mechanical genius.
Utility be darned
Un frickin believable!
Nice job, I did the same thing using a V drive click on the picture or next to this to see my videos once again nice job
This is a genius
Insanely awesome !
Im also impressed he didn't spill a drop of that Gatorade. He's definatley used to having a drink in his hands haha
Amazing machine
You've got to love the "castinettes."
I don't think a front wheel drive will have that problem.
Killer ride full on sick 💪🌺
Back in the 80s I saw a Datsun pickup done the same way.
Holy Fuck this guy is a genius
Man to back the sound had so much wind in the mic, we could not hear all of the important stuff kool thanks BigAl California.
Elcamino is a little light in the rearend ... put a motor back there !
Sweet rod.
Very very cool!
You can see each individual cylinder firing with the zommie caps ! lol
Ive always wanted to do that with a 455 olds but in a S10 and put a bedcover on the bed so it couldnt be seen.
There's no wheelie bars. You're gonna need those.
That is sweet!
I always wondered if you could put an engine in a truck bed. I want to put a v8 in an 80s model Plymouth Scamp....
Who besides me, thought of Edward Scissorshand when he cranked that bad boy up?!?
have you ever though of putting some foam on your mike to cut down on wind noise
That is the epitemy of "built not bought"
So freakin cool!
fuckn awesome cuz!!!💪💪💨💨💨
Badass Camino👍👍🤟
El Dorado or Toronado or Riviera front wheel drive motor & transaxle in the front!! I'll come down & help install it for free. Imagine the launch!! Even if mostly stock front setup
How squirrelly is it when you're going 70 down the highway? No weight in the front has to make that thing awkward as all get out.
Man, I wish this guy was my neighbor =)
Should put a small Briggs and Stratton under the hood.
Brilliant
Your my hero.
well done I love it
Seen this thing drivin down main in eureka springs ark. Few years ago
What happens in a high speed collision? The engine keeps going?
That's so cool
Best El Camino EVER!!! What's the music in the intro??
No rotors in blower case. Sounds just like the 454 riding mower
still got room in the back for the dog

BRO! you fkd up a bit with where you had the microphone, we missed a lot of the juicy bits that the owner was talking about.
Beautiful. 😎♥♥♥♥♥
Imagine having 2 engines
HELL YEAH
so he was tired of not having a covered trunk?
Nice
Is this still around and what state?
A hot wheel car came to life
Terminus....Terminus....Terminus El Dorado

You don’t know how to spell the name of a car that you once owned? I’m calling bullshit.
