Been working on this project for a customer for a few weeks now, and finally feel like putting the Build Thread together, so far I've learned quite a bit about this particular G-Body swap and have a lot more to go. As always any input will be appreciated. And I'll work to keep this page updated. Since It seems hard to find a lot of info in one place on these El Camino Swaps I'll post up my info here.

With the Iceman Racing Transmission Crossmember This is where the Transmission Sits. I bought the Extension Mount, but ended up not using it due to the position of the engine. It does sit a little further forward than I thought it would but it looks to have clearance between everything else. Also, the driveshaft did need to be lengthened for this application. I'm not sure if others needed to as well, but this one did. Also, I don't know what engine combo came out because this was a rolling chassis when the customer brought it to me.
