I am in the process of finishing a 1964 Elcamino with an LS2 and 6 speed from a 2005 GTO. Car is a frameoff restoration. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, vintage a/c, coil over adjustable shocks, electric windows, dakota digital vhx gages and bucket seats from 2005 GTO. Also going with stainless gas tank with high volume in-tank pump.
