On the Olds 425 the drive shaft goes through the oil pan .
Brother, Is this the differential posi? Can you mount a SB Chevy is it the same bolt pattern as a turbo 400?
The all new front-wheel drive Oldsmobile Toronado premiered for the 1966 model year, not 1967. The first front-wheel drive Eldorado premiered during the 1967 model year. The 1978 Eldorado was the last "big boat" model before it was downsided for the 1979 model year.
Where did you get the info on this rebuild. I can not find no rebuild books on this build. Which is wierd.
RwD conversion?
RWD?
Does it ride better without the torsion bars? I've never seen one converted under the hood 😮
Need a 76 with RWD 🙌
How do you like the airbags vs. the bars? Corner better?
Love my 78 Eldorado still had the 425 front drivetrain. Great stuff very reliable transmission
What would be the process to convert to RWD?...Asking for a dunk rebuild 76 Eldog
You can't , no drive line tunnel or diff in the rear or even a place for a diff.
How did you install the intake?
115 foot pounds, yea, I just keep saying, everything about the eldorado is MASSIVE....
So you do have to pull the intake manifold to pull the heads
But why did GM put front wheel drive in some of their cars?
Where are you located at what’s the name of the business I need to get my 75 Cadillac done
I got the same issue with my 75. What’s the name of your shop?
Contour the oil area for smoother flow into gears
I have a 500 from a '70 Eldorado. It has been stretched to 540 ci with parts from CAD. It has 600 horsepower and 700 ft lbs torque and easily puts down those numbers.
The Cadillac from the 1984 Terminator movie!
Yes! Although it was a 1977 model it’s close enough. I remember watching it with my dad as a kid and he always pointed out the Eldorado and that it was front wheel drive
is this oil pressure on the back of the engine, wonder if some 500 engine have the port for oil pressure at the front??
This one only had a port at rear of the engine.
that engine had the worse valve train set up in the world. those stupid bosses where the rocker arms ride on were notorious for throwing rocker arms off.
Awesome video! Does anyone know of it’s possible to remove the AC compressor and run a belt from the crank to the power steering pump? The ac is useless on a convertible
The first year of the front-wheel drive El Dorado was 1967 the last the last year full size eldorado with 1978 the first year of the front-wheel-drive toronado was 1966
A old friend that owned a junk yard, would pull engines, turn them upside down, and bury them, if he sold one, he would dig it up and if it ran before he buried it, it would run after being buried no matter how long. leaving them right side up, makes them into buckets.
With enough money, and time, anything can be saved. I had a 1953 harley i just sold. I put after market jugs on it, and sitting idling at a light one of the jugs exploded. when the piston came down tilted it blew up the cases. I gathered the pieces of the cases, and tried welding them back together. being sand cast cases all the shocked aluminum did was spider crack. i then took them and had the spider cracked cases, Cryo tempered, and after the Cryo they welded like new aircraft aluminum. a little machining and it rebuilt like brand new. Anything that is not vaporized, can be saved.
Do you remember what you set timing to? Did you go by the emissions sticker or advance or a bit?
Timing was set to 10 degrees BTDC
Is that the new and improved vegan oil
Got to love my spelling. 😅
Lucky you. As smog regulastions progressed, the auto manufactures only had to produce a procentage of vehicals that had all of the smog equipment.
I own one and glad i watched i learn how to add gas to the carburetor... Thanks
Olds engineered and developed the front wheel drive for the first Toronado in 1966. The Cadillac received the same front drive assembly for the Eldorado in 1967. The unit was used throughout the life of future Toronados and Eldorados until Olds and Cadillac went to transverse mounted engines. The Olds front drive unit was even used in the GMC motor homes vehicles as the unit was way quality over engineered and lasted with no problems. Buicks' Riviera never used this front drive like Olds and Cadillac did until around 1980 with the downsized Eldorado, Toronado's.
I might add that when GM downsized the Toro and Eldo for the '78 model year, they also downsized the FWD transmission and driveline, due to weight savings, and the high power engine options were gone.
hello - question on the intake manifold valley pan gasket. The Permatex gasket sealer... Is it only the bottom side and a focus on sealing the intake ports? Also over the rubber end seals? Is any sealer used on the top side or is it a crush fit only? I am right at this stage of reassembly now and questioning if the shop manual is vague or very specific: 1: Place rubber seals front and rear of cylinder block. 2: "Cement sheet metal gasket and shield on engine." 3: Position manifold w/ 10 screws and 2 studs to 30 ft lbs. ... Thanks!
I put Permatex Aviation Sealant on both sides of the intake ports only. The rubber seals, I just used a dab of RTV silicone in the corners where the block and head meet.
@@atobautomotive Thanks! Appreciated your videos and thanks for the reply.
where did you get this awesome wheels?
The customer doesn't know, they were on it when he got it.
@@atobautomotive thanks for asking.
Turn it into a 383 stroker
I have a76 eldorado convertible, what's the best motor to put in this car. I want about 1500 hp?
No rush but did you ever end up making the third episode, been watching along to see how it is and whether or not I’ll do it to my 72 dodge w100
Part 3 finish is going live tonight.
You stated, "Maybe the fuel pump." Pray tell, how difficult is it to install the fuel pump??
Nice innovation 👌💪
Thanks ✌️ Part 3 is going up tonight.
Sorry but as being a machinist I can point out so many wrong things you're doing I'm not even going to try.
I have a 1972 Cadillac eldorado and I've been trying to put some custom rims on it but im having problems clearing the skirts and the inside wheel well. My question is is there a shorter axial I can use from a front wheel drive car..
Everyone at gm didn't use gm
Early ones need hardened seats
