One thing about the caddys in trucks. Most caddy engines had very low-rise intake manifolds to allow for caddy low hoods. Since our trucks have much more hood clearance over the engine, one can run a BBC-style, higher-rise aftermarket intake manifold on a caddy motor for more performance and maybe better mileage. Nice advantage for our trucks.
Also, caddy engines were made to run sah-moooth. The valve train stuff on the heads is really quiet and the crank and bottom end is super well balanced. Neat engines, IMO. Just a little tough, parts wise.
