This video hurts my soul... I mean, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with old style American horsepower, but this engine does not belong in anything even remotely resembling a Lamborghini. Next time, buy an old Camaro or something. Anyone with half a brain can recognize this as a replica, and I suspect you are going to take a lot of crap for this build.
Also, the modern 4.6L "northstar" Is an Oldsmobile aurora motor, based on the 3.5L Intrigue motor, based on the 2.3L Quad 4. Which originated as a 2k HP 2.0L 4cyl. and took the world closed circuit track record back in 1984, previously held my Benz from a record in '75. Which yes, also means all you chevy nuts on your "ecotech"...Your running an Oldsmobile, now go cry. Check out my Achieva beating on a camaro.
W-42. Short stroke limited production 455 Olds. Claimed 390 HP stock, real world dyno'ed at 575HP, 1200 torque at 6700 RPM. Redlined on shift 1-2, 2-3 at 9500 RPM, clocked at the mid-ohio back straight, 186 MPH, 4800 RPM on 2.08:1 gear, and still had pedal left, through street exhaust and street G60 rubber. Allow me to introduce you to a 1968 Hurst Olds. I've owned 2, bought new, and the one I just told you about even had factory A/C. Learn before you talk. BTW Olds "rocket" started in '49.
back in the day (1968) manufacturers couldn't advertise more HP than Cubic Inches for some odd reason. almost like it was taboo. anyway not uncommon for those old motors to have lower numbers than are true.
Awesome, and sounds good. I'd love to see some tire smoke from the mirror of it. The light weight has to make that move well if it's geared right. ;-)
@cobraopts7 Maybe you could explain that being possible to us? The 425's stroke is not all that different than the 455. Certainly not enough to warrant twice the RPMs. They have the forged crank yes, but twice the RPMs, sorry but no.
@Rampant7990 what i meant was the 425 rocket was the best racing engine that oldsmobile ever built it maxed safely out to 8500 to 9000 rpms like the chevy 427 the 455 rocket max safe rpm is 5500 no it doesnt have twice the rpms but it almost does making it a better choice to put in a lambo but a 425 has older style lifters making it rev higher and it had a completely different cam to
@cobraopts7 Don't join any racing forums & claiming this. Rotating forces in even the best built olds small blocks can come apart after 6000 to 6500 RPM maybe not right away, if it's in top fresh condition. Certain year 425's bigger lifters increased ramp speed on the lobes. for more power, not RPMs. No magic RPM increase. The experimental Olds Hemi Can Am engine with dual overhead cams could reach almost 8500 rpm & never reached production. You need oiling & other mods 4 say 6000 rpm safely.
@CaNNonBlunT do you know anything about engines? the reason i ask is your comment seems pretty ignorant. the Countach LP5000 S with it's 5.1/5.2L V12 was only pushing out 375 bhp @ 8000 rpm and 302 ft lbs @ 5200 rpm. this 455 if built to W-30 specs can easily put 455hp to the pavement (which usually translates to 500hp+ @ the crank easily) with over 500ft/lbs of torque all day and never miss a beat. this 455 can more than get it up to speed and then some.
a strong 455 in stock form with that light car would be very quick!!! and with a couple mods be "scary" wouldnt take much. so dont let anyone tell you that thing is slow or a bad choice weather you put in or not? 0 to 60 and watch em suck up the seat and start whinning...
@deannaber for sure, who doesn't love to hear a high-revving engine? but when you can get more power, torque, and reliability it's easy to see why a 455 was chosen. also, those Olds 455's aren't your typical run of the mill big-block V8's. The Olds, Buick, and Pontiac 455's are made with a higher nickel content and if you treat them well are practically indestructible.
just curious why you went with the olds 455 and not a chevy 350...becides the obvious tranny setup you could go with with the 455...the chevy 350 would have more parts available to up the oomph easily but not compromise the original body style with that beast of a hood
I didn't build it, but I had to fix all of the original builder's "shortcuts." I suspect they went with the 455 for the ease of the build. The rear suspension is almost entirley a stock toronado front with the steering locked. The giant hood scoop is also purely cosmetic, it wasn't needed to clear the engine, and doesn't help keep the engine any cooler.
@SebastianLong So many chevy guys are still misinformed as to the availability of hi perf Olds parts. Why? If you say this you have never built an Olds engine before on your own. All the parts don't have to be hi $ either. The 455's are torque monsters, cheap, and parts are everywhere plus you have the obvious trans axle to boot.They are still in a ton of RVs, boats, and cars, for a reason. BTW, I'd love to know what parts are unavailable for an Olds 455.
a 350 chevy can do 250mph IF it has enough HP and it has a properly setup drivetrain behind it and of course the car has to be able to be controled but SIZE and POWER don't mean alot for speed until you really get up there.
I mean the real Muscle cars of the 70's could only do like 100-120 mph BUT this was mostly due to the fact that they only had a 4-speed as soon as you drop a 6-speed in with good gearing your set
@CrazyForCooCooPuffs if it's no big deal then how come you act like someone just questioned your masculinity? (just an example of how bad you just overreacted) i mean if you had some self confidence you would have been oh ok sure whatever but you went apeshit and pretty much just told everyone here you dont know shit you just like to think you do and talk big but can't back it up so,
go have fun being an asshole, esspecialy considering i wass trying to help youi learn something
You could very easily get the same amount of HP or more out of an Olds 455 and with far superior low end torque. The highest output Countaches had about 450hp which is very easy for a 7.5 liter V8 to obtain. The Lambo V12 will rev higher though.
@hankeybillfred if thats the case...why dont the environazis use that idea and keep the hp ratings in check...you can get better gas mileage out of a 1 cylinder lawnmower motor than you can out of anything they put in a car...damn environazis want gas mileage...theres their fuckin answer...and that can leave the rest of us happy when we still got our classic v-8 motors
@CaNNonBlunT That depends on the gearbox and transmission. it could bring it as fast with a good one, and for much less prize... yet its heavy, and that will affect handling.
@CaNNonBlunT acually dude not really just put a real high gear and it can still do the same speed, hell i bet that 455 has more hp then the original lambo
if you built the 455 right you could get the same top speed as a normal lambo, it would cost big bucks but it would be worth it. you could drop in ford and chevy internals into an olds 455 and it would slam the compression up to about 14 to 1 making some serious horsepower
I had a 72 cutlass 442 W-30 love the 455 I dug quite a few holes in blacktop with it and took a lot of money from people who thought that big boat couldnt get the job done one of the sweetest engines ever made just keep it cooled well(large radiator and 2 elec fans it gets hot sitting still , elec waterpump) 0-140 you shouldent have a problem with anything passing you
NorthStar's actually put out 230HP and 300 ib-ft of torque. The Toronado 455 puts out 325HP and 450 ib-ft of Torque. The only reason people use the Cadillac NorthStars is because they're plentiful, and the bolt pattern is identical to the 2.8L found in a Fiero. The engine he has there however would embarass a NorthStar any day of the week.
You do realize the 455 Olds and the Lambourghini 5.5L put out the same level of torque, right? And I'm assuming you're well aware of the fact the 455 Olds can be tuned up to ungodly power figures and still not break, whereas the Lambo peaks out at around 850HP before it becomes unruly.
Please, do some research before you embarass yourself.
This car is like a transvestite.. You see a beautiful woman, but then she opens her mouth and you look under the hood to find something is just not right.
The 455 Big Block that the Trans Am used was actually originally derived from the Toronado, which was put together by Buick`s hands. I know, GM is a skank when it comes to figuring out who`s stuff is who's. lol
There were ALOT of things wrong with this car. It was a poorly designed kit that looked goofy from any angle other than the rear. It was VERY poorly built, it was brought to me because it was unsafe and undrivable. I got it safe, driving, and running ok, but I still wouldn't want to spend much time in it.
To title a ground up custom, you need to have it inspected by your state's DMV, usually the State Patrol does the inspection. If it doesn't meet the regulations, you fail and then have a chance to fix whatever didn't pass. This particular car is loosly based on a Fiero, so I believe it still has the Fiero's title.
if i ever get to b a millionaire {currently in single occasionaly double digits} id build a replica of hairy olds 4 wheel drive 1000 hp apiece twin engine toronado
The 455 Buick was a torque monster. It would decimate a V12 countach any day of the week. But as much as I love bigblock V8's the v12 sounds much cooler!
no v12's are betta man lambos all de waiii!!!! and dun ask y cuz dats how i think!!!!! soo sush and lamnbos all de waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!! peace up!!
Lambo Murcielago LP640 v12= 612 hp, nissan v6=200 hp if lucky. Nissan v6 that can beat lambo= price tag for modifications that could have just bought you the Lambo. Duh. American v8s are awesome, but you can't argue here stock vs stock, pound for pound, the v12 massacres the v8, for the same reason the 8 massacres the inline 4, it has 4 more cylinders.
the Murcielago has a 6.5liter v12 engine and the olds 455 is a 7.5 liter. Just because it has more cylinders doesn't mean its better. "pound for pound" the 455 has more displacement
Go to howstuffworks dot com and read the article on the bugatti veyron, it will explain how more displacement basically makes up for lack of cylinders thus by having more, its the same effect as having a huge displ. motor of fewer cylinders. I don't have enough room to explain it properly here so please see that article.
Tiderasso, I already know that I just don't like foreign cars.I just don't see the point in more cylinders when a V8 can make just as much power twin turbocharged.
Nissan Patrol, isnt that an SUV? Anyhow that doesnt mean Lambos suck dummy, it means the Nissan has been modified like hell. You have to be ignorant to say a stock 640 hp engine sucks. What did your car bring stock? I have a GTR and Ill be the first to tell you Ill need alot more mods before I can tangle with a Lambo.
I actually like the scoop. Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile each made a different 455 engine based on each company's respective block/architecture. They all have slightly different bore/stroke, and ALL are torque monsters. Even though that auto is only a 3 speed, that engine has so much torque it doesn't matter. With a cam, headers, intake, and 850cfm carb, it could WAX a "real" Countach
This video hurts my soul... I mean, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with old style American horsepower, but this engine does not belong in anything even remotely resembling a Lamborghini. Next time, buy an old Camaro or something. Anyone with half a brain can recognize this as a replica, and I suspect you are going to take a lot of crap for this build.

If it doesn't meet the regulations, you fail and then have a chance to fix whatever didn't pass. This particular car is loosly based on a Fiero, so I believe it still has the Fiero's title.

tyvm for your answer. i have been thinking about building a '65 mustang fastback kit car as a weekend driver.
tippmannNC828 3 years ago
Of course you can... it can be titled as a hand built car - not hard, just check the requirements before you start your build.

When you hit the throttle the doors wiggle around. Dont take it personally, but it looks a little flimsy to me.

This is a car we had at work for repairs, not my personal vehicle. You're right, it is a fairly low quality kit

That engine has so much torque the doors were moving, LOVE IT.

a 455 will shake any car doors.

The doors are not shaking. They are wiggling like spaggetti. They should not wiggle.

The 455 Buick was a torque monster. It would decimate a V12 countach any day of the week. But as much as I love bigblock V8's the v12 sounds much cooler!

Lambo Murcielago LP640 v12= 612 hp, nissan v6=200 hp if lucky. Nissan v6 that can beat lambo= price tag for modifications that could have just bought you the Lambo. Duh. American v8s are awesome, but you can't argue here stock vs stock, pound for pound, the v12 massacres the v8, for the same reason the 8 massacres the inline 4, it has 4 more cylinders.
Tigerasso22 4 years ago
the Murcielago has a 6.5liter v12 engine and the olds 455 is a 7.5 liter. Just because it has more cylinders doesn't mean its better. "pound for pound" the 455 has more displacement
69cutlassrkt 4 years ago 3
Go to howstuffworks dot com and read the article on the bugatti veyron, it will explain how more displacement basically makes up for lack of cylinders thus by having more, its the same effect as having a huge displ. motor of fewer cylinders. I don't have enough room to explain it properly here so please see that article.
Tigerasso22 4 years ago 3
Tiderasso, I already know that I just don't like foreign cars.I just don't see the point in more cylinders when a V8 can make just as much power twin turbocharged.
69cutlassrkt 4 years ago
Nissan Patrol, isnt that an SUV? Anyhow that doesnt mean Lambos suck dummy, it means the Nissan has been modified like hell. You have to be ignorant to say a stock 640 hp engine sucks. What did your car bring stock? I have a GTR and Ill be the first to tell you Ill need alot more mods before I can tangle with a Lambo.

Wow, I am not saying all that, Im american too and american motors are awesome! 454 Hemi anyone?
Tigerasso22 4 years ago 3
I actually like the scoop. Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile each made a different 455 engine based on each company's respective block/architecture. They all have slightly different bore/stroke, and ALL are torque monsters. Even though that auto is only a 3 speed, that engine has so much torque it doesn't matter. With a cam, headers, intake, and 850cfm carb, it could WAX a "real" Countach
