Re: 472 Cadillac engine?
It is a great motor the torque is awesome stock, and only get better with bolt-ons. Throw in a modern cam, and they will just about hang with many diesels when towing.
I have seen them used in a few trucks, but you need the lowest gears to make the package work its best.
In my C20 with 32" tires a fresh 350 with 3.73 gears, and no overdrive is a nice combo.
On a 472/500 Cad I would look for a Dana 61 with 3.07 gears, and it would probably still light up the tires.
