SS vs. regular

wat is the difference between an ss and a regular 83 el camino, pls include all aspects, engine, interior, exterior everything, if u could help let me know

usally body trim, a few interior options, probably a bigger displacement block, but then again i have a 69, so i mainly know the SS and my malibu edition for that year.

xylo, Try this site. It has a lot of SS info. It is for Chevelles but El Caminos are included. http://www.chevelles.com/shop/ss_ident.html#71 Jon

I just got my 81, but from an article I read, here is what it indicates....

The SS package (for this gen) was only an appearance package. Probably a 5.0 L engine with two tone paint job and decals on the sides... SS emblem on tailgate and dash... no performance upgrades that I am aware of. I did not bookmark the article so I'm sorry I can't send you the link.

When I was shopping, I also looked at an 83 SS and did not see anything other than appearance upgrades.

MY SS had a 5.7L 4bbl option, but a Black Knight appearance package. She was a 78.

The major differences between the regular and ss versions of the el camino is a longer front end on the ss, a bigger small block(350 c.i.), trim is same, front end usually from a Monte Carlo rather than Malibu, interior about the same, dash with includes all gauges.
