El Camino Converted Into Price-Winning "Pulling Car"
I thought your readers would like to see the 1978 El Camino that I converted into a prize-winning "pulling car." This rear wheel drive car is equipped with a 327 cu. in., 8-cyl. engine that I souped up to about 500 hp, and it has a 3-speed manual transmission. I installed new exhaust headers, a new dual carburetor, and a new rear end. It has won several local awards in the "doodlebug" class at local contests, and took second place last year in the 5,000-lb. pulling class and also in the 5,500-lb. pulling class where it pulls a weight transfer sled weighing 17,000 lbs. (Russell Adams, 1956 Five Mile Square Rd., Island Pond, Vt. 05846 ph 802 723-4790)
