This is my 1970 Chevy El Camino SS 396 g-Machine. g-Machine is a term used to describe an older vehicle that has been modified to handle, brake, and perform better than it did when it left the factory. It has a mixture of original, higher performance original style replacement, and home fabricated parts. It even has some aftermarket parts that were designed to be used on a different vehicle. All carefully selected to improve acceleration, handling, braking, and visual appearance. The results have been phenomenal. It's a big block 454 that's been bored and stroked to 496 cubic inches with a steel crank & forged pistons. The heads are stock unported GM Performance aluminum oval ports with 2.19" intake and 1.88" exhaust valves and 110cc chambers. Compression is a pump friendly 10:1. The valve train consists of an Ultradyne 288/296F10 solid flat tappet cam, Comp Cams 3/8" pushrods, and Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers. A double row timing chain hides behind an aluminum timing chain cover. A multi-point fuel injection system keeps the cylinders fed via 42lb/hr injectors, a single plane high rise EFI manifold, 255lph fuel pump and an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator. The ECU is a Holley Commander 950 Pro with wideband 02 sensor feedback. An MSD Digital E-Curve distributor, MSD Blaster 3 coil, MSD 8.5mm plug wires, and NGK spark plugs provide the fire. A CVR high torque mini starter gets the engine started. The headers are Dynomax Pro-Series Jet Hot coated with 2" primaries & 3.5" collectors.The interior is all original except for the carpet, steering wheel, custom leather racing seats, Simpson 5-point harnesses, and Autometer gauges. I replaced the original cushion grip steering wheel with the Grant wheel.
