Thread: Cadillac Engines

Tweet

Hey I like to read a lot of the stuff that Bob writes and he's usually pretty accurate from what I've seen. But, I do like the Cadillac engines, all the Cadillacs that I have owned have been 472 and 500 engines and they are darn good engines. I've never broken one yet, they just keep running and running. The 1970 500 Caddy engine came with 400 H.P. and 550 lbs. of torque. Now, this is without any modification at all imagine what you could do with one of these if you did a little bit to it. Of course you wouldn't want to run much over 5000 R.P.M.'s. Now if you go to the web and enter maximum torque specialties, these people specialize in putting big Caddy engines in other cars. They have kits, adaptors, high performance stuff, anything that you might need for these engines. I have a 1969 Cadillac that wieghts 6000 pounds and when I want to get on it I have no problem smokin' the tires. This is only a 472 and I love it. Its really a highway car and I'll bet it will beat just about anything out there in a straight line on the highway. Look up that website and make your mind up for yourself. Hope this helps some.

P.S. These engines have a high nickel content and tend to last longer.
