The driver's side floorpan is pretty badly rusted out, but it at the same time came with the replacement floorpans to be welded in. It ran, albeit with lots of backfiring, one I fed fuel to it. It had a 350 in it that I was told 'had a cam', but beyond that and the fact the rear main seal was shot due to the carb dumping fuel down the intake (likely due to the Edelbrock carb it had on it not liking the higher fuel pressure from the mechanical pump.) I didn't know anything about the engine. I'm in no hurry to change this, I'm fine with it as it is. the one large that it should have for its year. It's a 1979 El Camino, but at some point somebody put a 1986 front end on it, so it has the two smaller headlights on each side vs. I'm hoping to have it at the Challenge NEXT year, assuming work doesn't mess this up AGAIN (which it looks like it's going to do its best to do.). Instead, I lucked into finding the Cadillac 500-powered Fiero that I took to the Challenge this year (and sold less than 24 hours after the Challenge was done, hopefully to be brought back next year better sorted by the new owner). work and other 'real life' issues as well as some issues with the vehicle itself kept me from having it anywhere near done. Those who were at the Challenge this year know that obviously this didn't happen. whatever (I'll use 'car' for simplicity ) was originally bought shortly after the $2011 Challenge with the intent of my taking it to the $2012 Challenge.
