Awsome news...
The Caddy heads have passed with a clean bill of health by our head guy.
![]() ![]() Happy days, happy days. For those who have no clue what i am talking about, the heads off teh free 472 I got from PROTRUCKS are better breathing and will net me a higher compression ration...in the 9 to 1 range instead of the dismal 8 to 1. Now I just need to get all the d@mn broken bolts out of it. Do the next owner a favor....look into ANTISEIZE COMPOUND |

Hmmm, looks kinda sloppy, but did you see the name of the pic? (the $200 engine with nos.jpeg) I was windering what the one little shiney thing was and why the heck it had a pipe(!!!)T-fitting in the fuel line.
Keep them coming...I been keeping every one in my caddy files. |

Hey Andy all the motors in the pics you posted here are mounted farther back than the one that the dumb as@ put in the burb I have and they did not notch the frame for the exhaust either. I think the one in my burb was mounted forward so the cheap sob that put it in did not have to cut the drive shaft.

You know, i was noticing that myself too. I finally got those burb pics modified enough to view..took a program on my mom's computer. The more I look at those fraim rails, the more scared I get.
