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?

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...

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! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif) But other than that, pretty accurate article!

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