Aussie El camino
 

Hey guy. Luv this site. I currently own a work in progress '64 El camino. I have a brand new 500 hp 383 with a stage II turbo 350 w 3200 stall. Slowly renewinf or upgrading bits n pieces. I have coil overs all round on the way from Jay at SpeedTech, who is great to deal with and looking forward to buying more of his products as the bank account allows. Next will be a brake upgrade. Any suggestions? Keep my budget in mind ;]Attachment 36545

welcome to the site! Let us know your budget for the brakes. You can go as cheap as swapping stock later model GM disc brakes up front, to C5/6 Vette brake swaps, and all the way through the aftermarket stuff, tons of options.

Upgrading the brakes is a great idea. I had a 65 El Camino, and I remember the times that car wouldn't stop when driven "spiritedly". :wow:

Welcome!! El Camino looks good. I love the 1st gen 64 and 65's. More pics when you get a chance. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. Here's a cpl more pic. Probably not up to latergal g standard but working on it. I'll take some more today. And a bit of muscle from down under also.

Nice El Co My first drive was a 65 with a 283 & 3 on the tree

Hey Oz ,
depending on your budget and your suspension upgrades , I would suggest you look at Kore 3 big brake kits , Tobin is a great guy to deal with.


:cheers:

Thanks John. Jay recommended Tobin. Did you use him? If so what did you get?
