Thread: 500 Caddy/G Body Swap

Tweet

The oil filters on these swaps are real tight to the front sway bar and a lot of people space the sway bar down. The other option is to use the later style oil pump from a 425 which tuck the filter in closer. It’s still snug, but as the truck is currently up on stands and the suspension is unloaded I think I will pick up a little bit more room.

I spent the last week doing exhaust. Like everything else on this it’s tight too. On the passenger side I had to trim the flange a bit just to get it to fit and on the drivers side there is less than 1/2" clearance between the flange and frame. I’ll probably use a bit of heat and BFH to gain a little frame clearance once I get the engine back out……I don’t need a lot but a bit more would be nice.
