5.7 RWD V8 + Drift and Stock Configurations for the Soliad Wendover 1.0

Have you ever wanted to drift an Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo, but have been hampered by a front wheel drive chassis? Well, then look no further; I present to you my first mod. Soliad, in all their glory, shoved a longitudinally mounted 5.7 Liter V8 engine into their primarily front wheel drive Wendover. Thus, 8 V8 rear wheel drive factory configurations were born. In addition, 2 drift configurations are included in this pack. One of them is somewhat drivable, although set up by an amateur, and the other is a mess and should not be driven under any circumstances. Speaking of a mess, there seems to be a bluetooth connection between the exhaust manifold and the rest of the exhaust. For legal reasons I am going to say that I am working on that. And speaking of exhaust, due to budget cuts and packaging constraints , the V8 Wendover only has a single exhaust in the rear, not even a faux twin pipe setup will fit. Sleeper status or something. Anyways, perhaps in future updates I will add a smaller 5 liter V8 and configurations to go with that, more configurations in general(Such as a police car, drag car, and some kinda racecar), as well as a supercharger and maybe doing something about that exhaust as well. In the mean time, I do hope that this mod works and that you can enjoy it.


Picture of the funny engine


Underside of the RWD V8 swapped Wendover, with the Gavril transmission visible as well

To configure the 5.7 V8, you, of course, select the 5.7 RWD v8 under engine, select a rear differential(any one, really), select the 4 speed auto RWD v8 or 5 speed manual RWD v8 transmission, select the invisible AWD transfer case, select the long v8 exhaust manifold, select the v8 RWD intake, and I think that should do it. Oh yeah also use the AWD fuel tank and AWD exhaust. I think that's about it.


Drift version, so you can finally go sideways in a Wendover. Not gonna lie some of the factory configurations are a little easier to drift than this one though.


Sadboi JDM drift stance bro build, thoroughly undrivable. Suspension is ruined beyond hope.


Early Luxobarge version, for your grandparents.


Facelifter Luxobarge version, and really not that much difference cosmetically between non rwd models. One wheel peel for days.


Early sport model, with all the goodies. Stiffer suspension, bigger wheels and sport tires, grippier brakes, slight appearance upgrade, limited slip diff, and of course a big ol 5.7 v8.


Facelifted sport version, with 17 inch wheels and 330 buff hrses due to a revised intake.


Special edition(1994) produced for the last Wendover model year, featuring 18 inch wheels, a body kit, 2 tone paint, a standard red interior and an optional bottle of nitrous.
