Show Me Your Caddy Power Hot Rod

Here's one I had in the late 90's

 

231ramona that look like a cool ride . did you build it. when was the first photo take and is th car still around

 

I have just dropped a caddy 500 into my '49 lincoln coupe.
Sorry, no pix as yet.
I also have XJ6 Jag rear end and front subframe complete.
Wonder if that Diff will hold up?
Body off chassis at the moment waiting for chassis to be finished.

Love the look the Caddy engine has given to the Linc.

 

'39 Caddie motor with a 3 speed LaSalle, belongs to Ratty over here.

 

update on my 331 powered 33 five window. Its getting there, but a long way still to go.

 

not mine but a couple customer cars

 

1928 Ford 2-Door 1956 Cadillac 365 Cu. In. with Super T-10 4-speed, Frankland Quick change rear.

This ROD is currently FOR SALE a couple of guys actually wanted to buy it without the engine.

 

Get a chain hoist and hang it in there. I'm pretty sure there won't be much in the way. You might have to do some 'mild massaging' but I don't think any cutting will be required.

This has a 500 Cadillac bored 0.030 to 512 cid. Edelbrock manifold, Crane cam, JE hi-comp pistons, shaft rockers, DUI ignition, Cad Turbo-400 trans, 9-inch rear, 2.75: gears.
They're only bout 100-pounds heavier than a small block Chev, and about 100-pounds lighter than a big block Chev. Ther's so much room in these old F-100s, you could put darn near anything in there.

I mainly chose a Cad because the truck is supposed to be a more or less period-correct piece, and (although the engine is a '70), Cadillac engines were THE really 'hot set-up' in 1953, which is the year of the truck.

Here's mine.

48 chevy window delivery (originally red cross ambulance). 57 el dorado 365. stroked with 390 crank, 390 heads, bored .030, custom cam, crager adapter to 4 speed toploader. 3 dueces in the shop waiting to be installed.

 

Hi Kirk,
I love your truck. Here are the shots at Billet proof for Hot Rod Deluxe.

This was my 1953 331, it was bored an 1/8" over to 354 CID, Jahns Custom Pistons,Nielson Camshaft,Custom built headers,Weiand Dual Quad intake( 2nd design for Large AFB's) this was mated to a 41 La Salle Gearbox,Schiefer ALum flywheel.And sat inside my Custom 60 GMC 1/2 ton shortbed fleetside.

 

Can I play??

My 500" Cad powered '60 F-100. Stock, with Edelbrock intake/carb, TH400, 3.25:1 posi in a Versailles housing...





A little "non-traditional" and non-apologetic about it...A Caddy in a Ford is fundamentally traditional, and it hauls ass.

any more caddy powered hot rod out there???

 

5oo in this one

 

Quick question from you Caddy guys.
What size pipe should I be using to build headers for my 500 Caddy?
