Ford came up with the concept. The el camino was made to be competition for the ford ranchero. As for the actual designer that worked on it, I'm sorry, I don't know.
the El Camino is a light sized pick up truck that was produced by Chevrolet and modeled after the Impala, the Malibu, the Chevelle, and i believe the Monte Carlo
19 gallons

The maximum speed of the Chevrolet El Camino pick-up automatic 8cyl 245 HP 1971 was about 115 to 120 miles per hour.

if it came stock with the 305 it should bolt right up, but im no expert Z-44) yes i have a 1985 el camino that originally had a 305 and swapped it for a 350 pretty easily. you can actually fit a 383 with minor changes (different motor mounts etc.)
Chevy had the EL Camino Ford had the Ranchero
In 1978 there were 1,200 Black Knight El Camino's made. GM stopped production in June 1978 due to a law suit in reference to calling the El Camino a Black Knight. They renamed it the Royal Knight and began production again in late 1978 for the 1979 model. The car came with a 305 4 barrel at this point. 1978 was the last model year the El Camino's came with a 350 motor. Any El Camino made after 1978 only came with a 305 motor. The Royal Knight was produced in the regular El Camino line up until 1980 and then it became a special order until 1983 when it was discontinued. The Black Knight only came with camel colored interior and came in an automatic or a 4 speed (most popular). Car dealers were noted back in 1978 to clone other super sports as the Black Knight to increase sales. The other Super Sports made in 1978 came with a black upper half and a red lower half spelling out Super Sport along the bottom of the car. Unfortunately the only way to tell a Black Knight apart was the color of the interior and the Z19 stamp on the firewall tag. I am a previous owner of a Black Knight and I wish I would have never sold it.
put your 9/16" wrench on one of the assembly bolts, get 5 or 6 big friends to pick-up the El Camino and turn it. u can pick the nationality or your choice for this job.

All 1973 and up Elcamino's had 116" wheelbase until their demise in 1986.
Should be located in or near the fuse box - just unplug or in my case (85 el camino)there are two flashers behind the brake release under the dash,not down by the fuse box. (87) El Camino same place. Had to remove 6 screws to get to it. Look left and up (back towards driver) should be standard 12v flasher for both.
