Re: 472 Cadillac engine?
A fellow I worked with in LA had a 472 in a 77 GMC K20. Got mid teens for fuel mileage with a Rochester quadrabogger... I never asked how he fitted the SM465 to that motor. It's a BOP bellhousing pattern but I bet it was fun to source the flywheel.
He said it towed a 28' Airstream everywhere and it ran up the Grapevine towing it like it didn't have anything in tow.
You'll need a rear sump Eldorado oil pan. If you have 2wd drop it in with a Caddy TH200R4 and mod the driveshaft.
Damn nice to have the distributor up front like my 383 Polara.
