1980 El Camino

I'm new to forums in general so not sure how to do this but here it goes. Does anyone know if a Buick 231 V6 turbo will fit into a 1980 El Camino.
Thanks

Re: 1980 El Camino

it should bolt right in, they are both g bodies and all gbodies have almost identical front clips. Still some small custom parts might need to be made.

Get a complete motor w/ all the mounts, accessories and harness etc. out of a Regal or GN and you shouldn't have a hard time w/ it.
