Also...they said that they were going to restore an LS6 El Camino during the season...is that the El Camino that's owned by Dave C. now?

[/ QUOTE ]


Charley...do you know if this is the same LS6 El Camino?

From 3rd page of the article:

[ QUOTE ]
... Simpson's ZL1 still retains the stock 7.5x15-inch steel safety rims, which roll on a set of F70-14 Goodyear Polyglas bias ply tires...

[/ QUOTE ]

That seems like quite an accomplishment in itself.

Pete,

The article says that you are running a cast iron block. Is that correct?

Nope. One of the few mistakes in the article. (also not running F70-14 poly's on 7x15 rims either! ) But other than that, pretty accurate article!

Lots of dish soap to get those tires on the rims. LOL!
