Man great idea. Can I use this fabrication

Nice car. Do you have a camber on the front wheels and if so why? Just curious.

What motor?

Are you put it on a chassis dyno?

Very cool!

Surely that 60's Jeep six is overhead valve, not OHC?

Sweet. Subbed!

What a unique combination. It sounds so smooth and quiet! Other than the supercharger, what other modifications have you done? And what let you to choose this motor?

I had a 64' short bed gladiator with a tornado engine. Loved that pick up. Blew the engine and found another in a junk yard covered in mud for years. Cleaned it up, put it in, and it was much stronger than the one I blew. Thanks for sharing.

My dad and I went to the factory to pick up our new 1973 Catalina. With a 400 2bbl. that car was quick and super comfortable. I went out and filled it with my buddies and pegged the speedo. You would have thought we were going 55.

Back when the still made real Pontiacs. My dad had a 73. We went to the factory to get it. Loved that car. Super comfortable and quick with a 400 2bbl.

Here in Argentina a few Jeeps (IKA version of the CJ5s) were equipped with a 4 cylinder version of the Tornado engine as an experimental version. You can see one here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ-5pWmHpK1-rNU

You are badass

Great song on radio.

are those blue things link bars? god damn they're long ;D

Hello!,do you have Instagram? I would like to follow your project more closely

What a beauty !

Hi. Is your xs motor besides exhaust stock?

Beutifull conatruccion, congratulations!!! Here, in Argentina, the Tornado Engine was used in sport cars, like the IKA Torino (IKA its for Industrias Kaiser Argentina). That engine was modified in factory, extensively used in many cars and trucks, like the Rambler Classic and Ambassador line, the Jeep line, Gladiator, Torino 380 (2 doors 3.8Lts) and Torino 300 (3.0Lts 4 doors) etc. One of these modification was a 12 port head. This engines came from 145hp to 215hp, in factory settings. I'm own a 1965 Rambler Ambassador with this engine. Modded from 3.8Lts (230Cu.In.) to 4.287cc (260Cu.In.). And 225hp and 41kg/m of torque with standard cam and 7.5:1 RC, with the ¨Tornado Interceptor¨ head, the 12 ports denomination. The 8 port head, like US Jeep Tornado´s here it´s called ¨Tornado Jet¨. Perhaps, you can find engine parts of better performance here, it's a very common engine to us, and with the relation of change betwin U$ and Argentine $ (ARG$200=U$1) you can find a 12 port head, with increesed flow and performance, complete with valves, springs, etc for about ARG $10.000 (U$500), ready to run in perfect condition, like a cero mileage. Well, greetings and waiting for more videos of you proyect!!!

That green, so 70's , love it!!!

My Highschool ride was a 73' 2 dr. I loved that sweet riding car. I put in a Crane fireball cam and headers with duals to the rear. 400 4bbl.

This car looks great.

This car is looking good.

Very nice project! I have one of this engine with 3 weber carbs on my Torino. There are some upgrades tha Ika performed on this engine. Apparently they had lubrication problems with the camshaft... there are 4 differente models of camshaft support and 3 different models of camshaft (I believe the cam profile is the same. Mosta changes are related to lubrication). And two different models of rocker and the metal sheet that hold them in position. In the other hand, the cast of the cylinder head of most tornado's here is different. You have 6 intake separately ducts. I thnk the shape of the cylinder head inside is the same. Finaly the modified the whole engine and made a 7 main bearing crank with an independant lobe camshaft. This engine was called Torino.

I like the front of a 71 the best and it should have dual exhaust the 72 is cool but the 71 front is best I had a 72 Grandville 4 door hardtop W/ 455 engine I bought used in 94 from Oakfield Ford in Villa Park Illinois the original selling Pontiac dealer sticker on the car was Seltzer Pontiac Chicago Illinois I confirmed it threw PHS Pontiac historical Society Seltzer Pontiac was a northwest side dealer at Irving & Lockwood Chicago Illinois something like 5333 w irving park rd

My aunt and uncle had a 1972 Catalina. It wouldn’t die, but 13 years of Chicago traffic and winters took it’s toll on the poor old thing.

Beautiful car. In the 60s and 70s Pontiacs we’re the best looking cars hands down. Hopefully you still have it. Looks like your grandfather loved that car by how nice and original it looks. I’ll bet he’s smiling wherever he’s at every time you start it up.

Nice project! I have a tornado engine in my IKA Torino. Last week I installed a new camshaft. I hope i will be able to test tomorrow.

Stunning car. Sadly, the video quality is more like 1972.

I grew up with a 73 Catalina, learned to drive in it, passed my drivers test in it. One thing about these beasts, they could handle despite their size, rode well, very easy to drive. Even if you got the smaller 350, it had shorter gearing, so it still got you going with no sweat. Gas mileage? Not so much. Maybe 8 city, 12-14 highway. Would love to have one again.

i love american full size pontiac! i don't believe that the canadian pontiacs were put on the catalina platform, when chevys and pontiacs both were built in oshawa, ont.

I had a ‘76 Catalina station wagon I bought for $600. It had a 455, 400 Turbo with every option including the hideaway tailgate. I still think to this day those GM wagons back then were the longest production cars they ever made.

What handlebars do you have on it?

I have a '64 Gladiator with that engine with the 4 speed and an optional pto on the tranny. I love the way it sounds and runs. I feel this engine had serious potential if they spent more time working out the bugs, mostly the oil leaks and oil burning.

Very nice . My old aunt had one with a 400. She never went over 55 mph. . 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That car is so cool looking. Man it just looks like it's made with care and quality.

Do you have an extra bell housing like that sitting around? I am in need of one for my own project.

thanks for the video man, I'm currently in the market for a new muffler and this helped a lot :)

Beautiful

They started the overhead camshaft on the 1963&1/2 series. A lot of those Jeeps burnt up. If you look, you will see that the fuel pump is above the distributor. When a fuel pump leaks fuel, it runs down on to the distributor where there is 3 sparks per revolution! Gas fires are hot enough to melt aluminum! Once it gets to that point, it is especially difficult to put out! My neighbor has a Jeep pickup with the OHC motor, and 4 speed on the tree! Only 4 on the tree that I have ever seen! Except for IHC trucks. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.

Esos motores los usaban los ika renault Torino acá en argentina una vestia de motor es

Hey I'm looking at running these, what head pipes are you running? are they 1 3/8" from mikesxs ?

Sexy

great looking bike!

quality kid screaming

I learned that mine had a timing issue. After reading both of these articles, I returned it to the seller at a loss... www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2018/9/18/rossi-issues-voluntary-recall-for-select-revolvers/ and www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-02-28/how-defective-guns-became-the-only-product-that-can-t-be-recalled

So I noticed a little bit of backfiring off throttle. Did you ever tune that out? I mean it sounds cool and all but just curious.

Let me know if ever you want to sell this beauty

So you feel any difference ?
