Any kits for BB Cadilac Install in a 69 truck with 350

[Primered_69]

I have looked at Longhornman's site andit is good but I am more of a bolt on man and would like to know if there is a kit.

I have located an engine for 300 and I am considering this swap.

This is an easy swap, as far as swaps go.

Not quite bolt in, but not difficult as far as engine swaps go.

I swapped a 500 caddy into a 78 malibu wagon a few years back.

Only took about two weekends to do that - and that's a much tighter fit.

A better source for info on the swap is found at the web site

www.500cid.com

There is a message board there dedicated to caddy motor swaps into all kinds of vehicles.

MTS is the company that runs the board - They can sell you plates that bolt to the caddy motor mounts, but you still have to drill the plates to match your crossmember, and then weld the plates together.

I used used some 1/2 inch plate, and drilled it to fit.

Have fun, those suckers are truly torque pigs!

If you're looking for more fun yet, take a 76 block and bolt on 1970 heads. The chamber CCs go from 120 to 76, compression jumps from 8.5 to 12.

I run 108 octane in it, but man does it move!

Have Fun!!!

That's a great way to blow up a piston or 8.

You know, you should be right, but those caddy long blocks are amazingly stought (and cheap).

I have a couple of caddy 500 blocks sitting in my barn, so I really didn't care if it grenaded itself, but two years later its still running strong!

you could sell those 500 blocks on the parts board!
