Yes, an M21 4 speed was available but only with the LS4 454 engine. Three other requirements for the M21 were power steering, power brakes, and heavy duty suspension. _________________ Ernie 87 El Camino "To be Old and Wise, you must first be Young and Stupid" Back to top Low75 Master Wrench Necoa #: 4203 Location: 18(N.CA,N.NV) Joined: Oct 30, 2004 Posts: 301 Year: 1975 Model: El Camino Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:11 am    Post subject: skinyfisher wrote: That is correct 73 was available with a large paper weight called a 454 with a very detuned "245 HP". 74 and 75 got worse they only had 235 HP.
