Re: Engine swap help!!!

Seriously, if you want to make that thing fast, put an LSx motor in it and boost it ... cheap power in spades. The El Camino is much heavier than a Skyline and the car is not built for that engine. Sounds like a nightmare swap, as well.

The power output of the 2.6 liter inline 6 you noted is less than the power output of a stock 5.3 liter naturally aspirated LS engine.
