Pic of the new 390 Caddy as of yesterday with the polished Cragar 4x2

 

Here I some pictures of my 331 for my 32 5-window. Weiand intake for four bolt carbs. Valve covers are original Offenhauser.

 

Weiand made a timing cover. I saw an NOS one at a swapmeet once. SUPER rare.

There's an Edelbrock 3x2 for sale at hotrodders.com right now. Looks like a nice manifold. $900 though...

here is a link to a video of my 32 coupedeville sitting in traffic. anyone else have any videos of running hotrod caddy engines?

 

Real nice video! Hot rod Caddy engine videos are tough to find...just like the speed equipment. Yours sounds great! What's the recipe for success in your motor?

 

Here's the 390 running, before fine tuning it in.

 

Sounds amazing dude!

Pretty much at full staff after watching that video

 

Sounds great. I'm putting a 390 caddy in my coupe..love the sound they make!

 

we need to hear more of these caddy engines. videos ...videos ....videos!!!!!!!!

 

my 32 coupedeville is a 61 caddy 390, stock rebuilt, 10.25:1 comp, with schneider racing cam custom cut, schneider springs and retainers with sbc spring upper cups, vintage 3x2 offy intake with out the heat riser, stromberg 48's , electric full pump set at 5 psi, wilcap caddy to sbc adapter with vintage aluminum racing scatter shield, tremec tko600 5 speed,

 

Scored a rare Weiand WCA 408 Dual Quad Intake.I had this same intake on my old Caddy in the 90's when you could find Caddy stuff dirt cheap.Trying to find one now is very tough.This was the second design Weiand Dual Quad Intake that accepted the AFB style Carbs.According to Squeak Bell in Bakersfield this intake was only produced for one year,1959, and thats it.I found this one from placing a want ad on here.The price was great.

Love this tread as much as I love Cadillac speed parts. Will add photos to it.

 

I guess not technically a speed part....but this old Wagner Lockheed slave cylinder was bolted to a ’52 Cadillac 331 racing engine that came out of an old stock car. This was a full house motor with 1/8” over bore, stroker crank, Isky cam, adjustable rockers….serious motor…all old school stuff.
I guess they didn’t have room in the stock car for mechanical linkage so they used a slave cylinder. I sold the motor long ago, but kept the cylinder and bracket.

 

What did the bracket attach to? I'm looking for a similar setup for my '53 Caddy engine. Is there a part number on the slave cylinder?

 

Hmmmmm...I wanna say it was bolted to the cast flange where the top of the block/bellhousing meets the lower starter housing.....I will look to see if there is a number on it tomorrow....I'm pretty sure there is.

 

Cool! Thanks!!!!

 

Don't forget,,,Potvin made a front mount blower set up for the Caddy's. They looked and worked great too. Big old 671 hanging off the front...cool

I bought a 55 331 with a 2-4 set up and found a manual flywheel I am using the hydro bell and hydraulic throw out bearing an adapter plate of my making !! I want to see how long a world class t5 can take it !!
