LS7 on Jay Leno's Toranado on rides rides on dec 21 showed Jay Leno put a LS7 in his olds toranado. said the engine was strong enough to handle 1000hp. they turbo'ed the car, its F*#n sweet!
The "prototype" powerplant was awesome and Jay's shop and collection are unbelievable...that being said, that Toronado, although impressive and extremely well built, is still kinda on the fugly side! lol

All I have to say is... 
It's good to be Jay! Of course, I've always said one day I want to have a collection of cars likes Jay's. Perhaps on a smaller scale, but I want a collection like his.

I can believe that. I have thus far seen 2 different twin turbo 402-406 small blocks pushing over 1000hp at the rear wheels.
One was on race gas, the other pump gas. No bottle.

I'm sure it's a beefed version. I've seen 4L60's handle 1000hp engines before.Jersey
