The Elcamino
This was the first car I ever owned and this is what began my interest in cars.  When I purchased this I had little to no idea about anything related to cars, but I soon became fasinated.
When I bought this I was told that it had a 305 with a few mild modifications such as edelbrock performer intake and carb and a mild cam. However when I pulled the motor out after I royally fucked it up after a few years of abuse I came to find out that it was really a 350 block. O well....
Soon after I began to buy parts to build up what I thought was going to by a buget motor. Well after a year of purchasing parts, I didn't realize the amount of money I was spending.  And instead of a $2,000 motor it turned into a $4,250+ which was more then I intially paid for the car.  I Soon decided to buy a short block from Jasper which their package is rated at 350hp if used in combination with 72cc heads and manifold and carb. the specs are below
