Got a 472 Caddy going in a '36 Ford truck I'm about to start on for a customer, I don't know much about them. Is there much in the way of dress up pieces for them?
If you get a set of valve cover adapters from shraders http://www.schraderspeedshop.com/ you can put just about any valve cover from a 1949-1960 caddy engine. Maybe a set of these offy finned aluminum ones http://www.offyparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=90
MTS 312 745 8799 expect to pay valve covers 60-400 $ intake 1200$ get the caddy tech guide 10.00$ real good info expect to pay big money formost bolt on parts these prices are a year old

maximum torque specialties did the cad motors in a couple of Billy Gibbons' (ZZ Top) cars. there web site is: 500cid.com they are in southeast Wisconsin, Delevan to be exact. SPITSHINE
Are you running a four-barrel? Because this, in my opinion, would be an appropriate time to run a Cadillac aircleaner. That aircleaner, an adapted pair of '49-'60 script valvecovers and some engine paint, and I'd be in hog heaven. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks for the info. I don't know what carb is on it, haven't looked at it that close. All I know is that it runs and came out of a hearse.
