67 is my favorite year for the El Camino, I use to have one back in the late 70's that was an SS but someone had installed a 327. You'll have to post up pic's of yours. Bob

Can anyone tell me if im suppose to use the egr valve and anything of the emissions once ive installed it on the 67 elco?

That looks awesome!

I put an LS motor in my 77 El Camino.

I used some mounts from Speedway Motors. They have their generic brand which I used, but now they have some from Hooker that bolt the LS motor into your stock location, which is what I wish I had bought.

I didn't use the EGR stuff and had a dyno guy clear out the codes for it.

You do want to keep the primary 02 sensors though and get rid of the secondaries as those are there for emissions purposes.

thanks! i just finished it last night. so how do i block the intake and delete the egr? do they sell a block or something>?

I think there's a company out there that makes some nice aluminum ones that say LS on them. However, I went the economic way and went to Oreillys and went to there aisle with the plugs and springs. There they have a rubber expansion plug and if I'm right it was a 3/8". Basically you just push it in and screw it in there. My elk is not a show car by any means and I don't know if you'd do that on your nice motor.

UZI67ELCO

Good to know. My car is not a trailer queen by any means. Im still working on it. But ill make it work. Thanks for the info. Ill post more pic of the elco.
