    the 390 that I put in my roadster runs like a raped ape..What a great motor. I am sold on the Caddys. Scored the cool 6x2 intake here in the classifieds.

    By doing a search of the classifieds on here, $200-$400. Maybe a bit more if you sell it with all the accessories.
    I wonder how that would work in a '27 RPU?:rolleyes:
     
  6. 500 Caddy here as well.
    It is in My '49 Lincoln Coupe.

    I haven't got it dialed in yet. It start's right up, Idles great but starts missing and backfiring at about 3000 rpm. Like its running out of gas. I'm looking into the high speed circuits on the old 97s.

    I cannot stop laughing.

    Last 3 threads I have looked at you've been hammering the age thing...

    HAHAH!!!

    Love it!!!

    "Hope there aren't anymore '65's or newer. They aren't cool enough for this board. The mods said so."

    "A traditional car CANNOT BE NEWER THAN 1964. PERIOD. Cars are not sool if they are 1965 or newer. The Jalopy Journal says so. The end.
    Rat Rods rule the face of the planet. Just look at all of them on here. "

    I have a 425 in my 48 F-1. It replaced the 472 that seized up 6 years ago. Both good motors. Early valve covers with an adaptor I found on ebay.

    If you dont mind my asking, how much did it cost to ship? Guess you had to get the shipper to put it on a pallet?
