The bore is 4.3 inch, the stroke is 4.304 X 8 cylinders....comes out to 500 cubic inches. For those of us who can't do this kind of math, you can use a number of on line calculators to find the volume of an engine....like THIS ONE The caddy is 500 cubes...or 8.19 liters for all the metric fans out there. |

I know it's a GMC motor but we should include the 702ci/11.5L V12/twin V6.

LOL! You ever looked at the early to mid '80s front wheel drive hayns/chiltons manuals?
In the trouble shooting section of the book for my old Citation, it said if there is a metalic clicking noise as you drive slowly down the road, to inspect the U-JOINTS!! |
