I've always wanted to do a 90-91 454SS pickup, but that factor of 310hp on a 2 barrel 7.5:1 454 that was OE rated 255hp really takes the wind out of the sails lol

since the hydramatic debacle it was determined since the sedan deliveries were buiult on station wagon platform it was a car no hydramatics (marv ripes throws a party)

the shaw & wong story was determined opposite since the elco had a 117' WB frame that was only used in this platform from 1977-1987 and was by all GM printed info a truck (sales info and EPA compliance) it was a truck (that cost me bending 6 exhaust valves on my 305 with that 430' cam) bummer

i requested from mr Pat a statement saying such >> i have such a official email states ALL elcos are trucks i even replied and re ask so even a 60 would be a truck with curiosity killing me as to how much a 430 cam might help a 60 283 instead of 399 ... hmmmm and reply was stated > ALL ELCAMINOS ARE TRUCKS.

im not gonna be the guy who tells the SS dudes ill let mr Pat hes great at making friends that way (wait till the AAMA stuff hits)

p.s. i have had the HP reduced on the 78 305/145-180 reduced by 3 last 2 years to 174 and it is still listed in the malibu section but i ve been told the cars cant use it ????

i agree the class guide needs to be fixed showing this as fact

captain
