I was going to post the pictures I took of Tracy Powell's blown 455Olds powered '84 coupe, but there are almost 50 of them and
decided it would be easier to put them up on my website and post the link here. So here it is:

Engine and transmission came out of an 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado. Modifed of course, with a variable pitch torque converter with 3k stall
speed to handle the almost 750hp that the engine puts out.
He has wheelie bars for it, so it won't flip over backwards when he mashes the go pedal.

Oh My Freeking Crap!! That is sweet. Wouldn't it be cool if he could build an Indy scoop around that blower and somehow hide it? No telling how many HP he's putting out, but it's certainly a lot.

Holy shitski!

Is that engine using EFI? (Looks like fuel rails and injectors between the bugcatcher and blower.)
What is he using for engine management?

I have a picture somewhere of a red 86-87 notchie that I saw at the St. Ignious (sp) car show a few yrs back, it had a front mounted bickblock w/ a blower. I cant find the picture or I would scan and post it! If i remember right he told me it was a porsche trans mounted on the cradle w/ a drivshaft running from the crank into the trans. it was a pretty loud too, that and the tubbed rear end. -gary-

750 horse! Bull, I dont believe it. I wanna see dyno charts. Just cuz its a huge V8 with a massive blower doesnt mean you can just say it has 750 horse. Hah, I bet you're just scared to put it on the dyno cuz it'll only make 300 horse.....

Oh yeah, sweet Fiero btw!

750 horses seems to be a very low estimate for a blown, intercooled, injected 455. A small block can do 750 with a weiand 177. Thats gotta have closer to 900

Not really, he's using the chain drive trans from the Toronado. I have pics of the trans in the car...I will add them to the page later tonight.

Well, it was just a thought. I kept the build up photos of that particular trans. It is a THM425, and the chain drive was replaced with the addition of what you see in those two pics: a huge belt drive. I guess the thought was it would be forgiving of the excessive hp & torque. I seem to remember they were building it for a similarly powered Fiero, as well.
