Hello Everyone,
My name is Tony. I am a retired ASE mechanic who was also a mechanic in the US Army.
I have what I believe to be is a 1969 or 1970 Toronado 455 power-plant in a rare vehicle that I want to fully restore.
Here are some pictures of what I am working on with the 455 Toronado power plant in the back. It is called an Ultravan.
BTW - I found this picture of my vehicle at the car show online and that is not me in the picture. Grin

- This was its first local car show after sitting for over 20 years.
I brought it home in 2013 and in less than a year I had most of the mechanical stuff taken care of and it was road worthy again.
Sadly it overheats and I have been working on that. - UV520 at First Car Show in 2014.jpg (671.88 KiB) Viewed 9568 times

Re: Hello
Interesting. Does the RV utilize the Toronado's front wheel drive transmission at the rear?
Re: Hello
YES - They cut the front section off the Toronado frame with the entire power-plant and complete front suspension intact and mounted it in the back where the Corvair engine would have gone. They welded the inner tie-rods in place to keep the wheels fixed.
