Thread: 63 pontiac catalina limo project

Tweet

So I recently changed my plan with my current 63 pontiac limo project. I was going to put a diesel 6.6L with allison 5 speed but found that the drive line and tranny would be a problem. The tunnel housing would take up most the party space in the back. bla!.. Now the plan is to convert to FWD via toronado tans axle and a big block 500 cadillac with forged pistons, fuel injection, and possibly a couple of really small.. . i mean large turbos attached. I will gain some floor space this way and can do FWD burn outs.

So far I have finished welding the toronado front frame to the limo frame and have lengthened the front fenders 9 inches behind the front wheels. Next is to lengthen the fenders in front of the wheel and then modify the hood to fit. I am thinking about cutting up the hood and building a sort of cowl induction style hood. May as well while i am at it right?

I bent up some floor pieces for the limo and installed them last night. Its not going to have a hump in the floor for a driveline or exhaust. Totally flat!. I am runing the duel 3" exhaust on each side along the frame rails under the floor.

here are some updated pics

Current Ideas
Outside - Shaved handels, chrome or painted bumpers, dark metalic green paint and one or two more colors, lengthen the front end, suicide rear doors and extend the doors a foot, lengthen it a foot behind the driver doors, large moon roof.
