[00:34] <wickedpz> hey
[00:44] <wrst> hello wickedpz
[00:46] <wickedpz> Checkout the work weve done to my sixties Oldsmobile Toronado: http://postimage.org/gallery/bsnh5k8/
[00:56] <wrst> nice
[01:16] <wickedpz> thanks
[01:16] <wickedpz> a lot of work done
[01:47] <wrst> I bet and more time and Monet than you want to total up
[01:49] <wickedpz> its powered by a 1,070-hp twin-turbocharged V8
[01:49] <wickedpz> GM Performance Parts crate engine
[01:50] <wickedpz> its a 425 cubic inch engine but it sends power to the rear wheel by way of a C5 Corvette transaxle
[01:50] <wickedpz> we modified and grafted a C5 chasis beneath the Toronado bodywork, and it had to be cut at the firewall and lengthened 14 inches to the rear, which pushed the wheels into position within the car's fenders
[01:51] <wickedpz> kept the basic suspension, its aluminum double wishbones with a transverese leaf spring, both in front and rear - but added new springs and bilstein shocks for car handling, so it can support the heavier steel body the Toronado has. Those are 17
[01:51] <wickedpz> Those are 17 inch Bridgestone Redline tires
[01:51] <wickedpz> custom aluminum wheels
[01:52] <wickedpz> this engine uses a modified aluminum block and cylinder heads from the Cafillac CTSV racing program, and they've been reconfigured to work as high performance street engine.
[01:52] <wickedpz> Cadillac*
[01:54] <wickedpz> the GM performance spec'd forged steel crankshaft and connected rods are used at the bottom of the engine, with custom forged aluminum pistons. when its pushing up to the CNC ported aluminum cylinder heads, the pistons deliver 8.3:1 compression ratio.
[01:57] <wrst> lots of work and LOTS of performance
[01:58] <wickedpz> oh yea
[02:21] <wrst> :)
