What car does this motor belong to? Part 2

[1wykdmk8]

Ok, this is kind of a 2 part one this time......not only what car does this motor belong to, but what size is the motor........

 

[unstoppable]

Well, its an LS1 based engine.No real way to tell the cubic inch.But since you made a big deal about it I'd have to guess its close to a 427.

The car I at first thought was a Lingenfelter twin turbo 427, but its not a corvette.
I'm stumped on the car.

My car.

 

[unstoppable]

Oh ya, its not operable.

The discharge pipes from the turbo to the intercooler dont have any clamps on them.
The boots will blow off in a heartbeat. LOL

Whatever it is, its got a fabricated firewall. They used a semi polished alluminum cause I can see a reflection of the passenger side exhaust.

 

[1wykdmk8]

It is a 427, but it is not a production model........it is a completly custom engine built by GM......only one of its kind......thus far at least.....oh, and it has 1070HP too..... :Beer

Hmmmmm...Bucketthead's? ahhh.....Bob Hubbard's

Did I guess right! Damn I wish I could recognize cars like you guys!

I'm learning! Give me a few years! I'm like an old rookie with the car thing!

 

[crazyman]

I believe that is Jay Leno's Torando. Right?

 

[1wykdmk8]

You are correct!! :yourock:

 

[mespock]

Dang! I thought I had it. Wanted to beat Jibit to the correct answer!! :N

 

[Jibit]

Dang! I thought I had it. Wanted to beat Jibit to the correct answer!! :N

eh, I knew it was an LS1 but after Chris chimed in I knew it was over!

Hey I had that Hotwheels car!!!

 

[1wykdmk8]

Talk about a sleeper. 1070 HP in that thing will make it SCREAM!!!!!! Those wheels are custom one off billet wheels, made to look like the factory joint. It has a totally corvette drivetrain/suspension on it (drivetrain of course minus the normal vette motor that is). It even has the torque tube with a custom carbon fiber driveshaft. I watched the build on Rides on TLC.......that thing is ON POINT!!!! Leave it to Jay Leno to build a sweet a$$ed ride!

Haha, damn that car is hot. . .

Toronado. Certainly explains the overly forward engine location. Those things are very strange looking in stock form. Nearly a foot behind the intake and almost no room between the fan and radiator.
