Re: cadillac 502!!!
if you are asking if you can put the 500 caddy motor in your 72 with a 400 , yes .i personaly like the 455 buick route
 just do a search on this site for a handful of info . you'll have to fab up some motor mounts , first get the frame towers from a 73-87 truck , then all down hill . you can either run an adapter plate ( which is the way i went ,where i kept the stock 4speed  ) or change the trans too or atleast the case .you could use th caddy trans but it would have alonger tail - driveshaft issues .

There is a company(or two)that make the adaptors you need for this swap:motor/trans mounts and/or bellhousing adaptor plate.I can`t think of names at the moment.Someone will chime in.We have members that have Caddies in Chevies.

Re: cadillac 502!!!
Wouldn't the adapter be the way to go in this situation if you want to retain 4wd? All the info I ever see is for swapping these into 2wd trucks.
