Thread: 63 pontiac catalina limo project

Tweet

Some updated pictures of this project. Finally got it off the rotisery and started on finishing up the sills and lining up the doors. Next is deciding a power plant for it and finish repairing the floor. I am also thinking about making the car a couple feet longer that will make it about 28feet long.

I had originally thought about putting a 6.6l diesel motor with allison 5 speed in the limo. I ran into a problem with the driveline being a foot above the floor and therefore making the tunnel roughly 18 inches tall. So scratch that idea. I am now thinking about going to a toronado or cad FWD setup and a Fuel injected cad 500 turbo motor. What do you think of that idea? Another idea is bolting a diesel motor up to the toronado trans. Does anyone know if there is a diesel motor that will bolt up to the toronado trans?
