12V Cummins El Camino Drag Car

[b4ctrooper]

I had high hopes to finish this, but an injury put it on the backburner, and I moved on to a different diesel project. I am selling the car: El Camino, 14X33 tires, 9inch, ladder bar suspension. Still has the fuel cell, lines and pump. I already removed the ignition system. Firewall was moved back. Here are some videos of it when the prev owner had it:

The engine:1994 12V Cummins. I still have the title from the truck it came out of. IIRC, it has 190K on it. The truck was owned by a marble and granite company, and was used to deliver slabs to customers. They sold it because the forward clutch pack went bad and the trans needed a rebuild. Engine ran perfect when I pulled it. Still has the complete harness and everything I needed for the conversion. I even have all the A/C hardware. I did remove the injector pump, but still have it.

The Trans. 47RH, I bought all the goodies for. Hardened input, tons of upgrade parts from PATC, and a 5star converter. I bought everything to make this trans hold up to an 800HP Cummins. Assembly required.

The engine was only set in the car on jackstands and is currently out. I never made mounts for it. I still have the nose off the car. I may put it back on to sell it. I was going to race in the NHRDA events, but never finished. The hood that was on the car is damaged, and I have a steel bumper for it that needs paint. The body is clean, and it's been a drag car for almost its whole life. I do have a title for it so it can be registered. I'd prefer to sell everything as it sits. $6500 takes it. Just want my investment back.

Damn this seems like one hell of a deal! Bump for you

 

[b4ctrooper]

Thanks. It is. I just want to move on to my other project. Bought the donor vehicle already, but can't get started till this is gone. I'm trying to sell everything at once so it all goes, and I'd really like to see someone finish it. It's a shame I don't have the time.

From the truck the Cummins came out of, I also have the A/C/Heater box from the cab, the A/C lines, Condenser, and radiator to go with the engine if desired for a conversion. The injector pump will also go with the motor.

As far as the trans goes, if it sits here for a few, I may have it assembled by a local builder. If I do though, I'm going to want more for it.

This is the only place I'm advertising this for now. I will be putting ads on craigslist and other sites after the weekend. I am quite surprised nobody has bought this whole thing yet!

 

[nlsd206]

Sounds pretty sweet. Bump for something you don't see everyday.

 

[b4ctrooper]

Had a deal worked out for the car this weekend, but it fell through for now. Everything still up for sale. The nose is back on the car. I'll try to post some pics of the car tomorrow.

 

[b4ctrooper]

I placed the nose back on. It isn't aligned perfectly, but at least you can see what it looks like. I also showed the hood. It's messed up, but I wanted it to match up paint for a new hood when I got one.

I wish I had 6500...

So what you are saying is you haven't modded anything yet to fit the cummins in it? What did it have for a engine and tranny before and where is that engine and transmission?

The car had a small block and powerglide. I already sold them. I got to the point of fabbing up some mounts for the engine and trans, and that's where things stopped.

 

[b4ctrooper]

I'm beginning to think people don't like me around here! Still for sale.

How is this still for sale? I was under the impression that we had a deal.

 

[b4ctrooper]

We do when you get here next week. Still have to get rid of the motor and trans after u take the car

 

[f6jbob]

I should be there Monday. I'll call you tomorrow to confirm that.

 

[b4ctrooper]

That will work good for me. The earlier in the day the better
