Well, I may have changed my mind again.
![]() I might not be doing the Caddy swap into my truck.....I may just do the small block. I picked up a pretty nice '84 Coupe deVille with a bad engine. The '84 uses the same chassis as the earlier ('77-'79) Cads and the engines in those cars bolted up the same (and are basically the same size) as the 500 so it'll pretty much be a "bolt in". The only thing that will stop me from putting the 500 in the Coupe is emissions.....I might have that one figured out though. The truck originally had a 350 in it but I sold the engine. ![]() ![]() Anyone that's going to the Ohio meet that has a decent sbc and/or driveshaft for a lwb 2wd V8 truck, let me know, I might be interested.

Don't do it! The truck needs you and the motor!
Lux Hauler, I know Caddy’s have a big trunk and all but they are no where near as large as a truck bed! Your name is Lux HAULER, we won't recognize you if you don't keep it that way! The '84 is a slam dunk easy swap but the truck will be a fun one. Doing the truck will give you a great project now, and still allow you to have an ALL Cadillac project waiting for you when ever you are ready. If you do the '84, chances are you MAY never do the truck later. But, the other way around is in no way a possibility because you'd NEVER but a SB 350 in a Cadillac!
I say do them both, but DO THE TRUCK FIRST! Last edited by '70 C/10 SS500; 10-06-2004 at 12:10 PM. |
