Thread: Cadillac 500 head questions

Tweet

Roadster I know about the high nickel in the metal the old caddy's had thats why they wore so good or lasted so long. I was just mentioning the pistons because there were several piston changes over the years. Of couse the after markets are better and you could make lots more HP. There are lots of thing you could do to a new motor like that differant cams fuel injection after market heads intakes and all. The question is how much does he want to spend $$$$.

I've messed around with a few Caddy engines in the past and found if you want the stock intake to flow a bit better you can (see pic) re-work the center divider. With a 1"-2" spacer it will give you a noticeable increase in mid-range power. The better way is of course to purchase the Edelbrock aluminum intake but, plan on speeding $200.00 or more.

"Great" engines with excellent torque!
