The only remaining original panels are the turret and one rear quarter panel \u2013 everything else has been replaced, re-jigged or re-engineered. And no, they don\u2019t plan on painting it any time soon, and that\u2019s totally cool with us because the clearcoat finish looks epic. The new CRS-built chassis holds a bespoke front end with rack-and-pinion steering, plus a CRS nine-inch rear on a four-bar set-up, and it\u2019s \u2019bagged both ends. Up front is a BNR Engines-built, 14\/71-blown, 568ci Dart-blocked mill running on methanol, good for 1450hp. This mental Torry has been built for the burnout pad, where it\u2019ll chug around 60-70 litres of go-juice per skid!<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"\/features\/1950hp-blown-big-block-1969-holden-lc-torana\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"READ-FULL-ARTICLE\" class=\"cld-hidpi\" data-src=\"https:\/\/assets.whichcar.com.au\/image\/upload\/s--_ZepVKU1--\/dpr_auto,f_auto,t_p_fullsize,w_290\/v1\/archive\/motor-media\/3696487\/read-full-article.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"290px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.streetmachine.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/read-full-article.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.whichcar.com.au\/image\/upload\/s--uMzzUjT6--\/dpr_auto,f_auto,t_p_fullsize,w_290\/c_scale,w_290\/v1\/archive\/motor-media\/3696487\/read-full-article.jpg 290w, https:\/\/assets.whichcar.com.au\/image\/upload\/s--bx7YYYZP--\/dpr_auto,f_auto,t_p_fullsize,w_290\/c_scale,w_580\/v1\/archive\/motor-media\/3696487\/read-full-article.jpg 580w, https:\/\/assets.whichcar.com.au\/image\/upload\/s--h3uk2PxD--\/dpr_auto,f_auto,t_p_fullsize,w_290\/c_scale,w_870\/v1\/archive\/motor-media\/3696487\/read-full-article.jpg 870w\" style=\"width: 290px;
