Cadillac flathead V-8 dimensions.

Does anybody have the basic overall dimensions ie. length, width, height for the Caddy flathead V-8? Not including the transmission.

Thanks

 

I replied to your previous post with 2 of the three dimensions you asked for here:

If you aren't going to bother to read the replies to your own posts, I won't bother going out to the garage to measure the length.

 

Sorry to you and Richard D. He turned me on to Indagarage who I have been communicating with. Once he and I hooked up I figured that was it for my question. I guess I was wrong. Sorry again and thanks for the input.

 

Enormous x huge x really freekin' heavy.

 

HOLY SH*T ,YOU'RE NOT KIDDING!!! I was glad i borrowed someone else's ,engine hoist.

 

I had a change of heart. from the front of the forward-most pulley to the back of the block is about 30". Its about 37" to the back of the bellhousing. Remember, these are very rough measurements because the engine is still in the car. Also, as far a weight goes, I have heard 750 lb. for the block/heads, but I have heard almost 1000 lb. fully dressed.

Yay, cast iron!

 

hi im new how do you make a post

 

They aren't big at all, they just weight 900lbs with the tranny on them!!!

 

"indagarage" is "indashop"s imaginary friend who only types on alternate thursdays in July during a hail storm...so that's what took him so long to answer...

 

ha! no we talked over PM and I think I still owe him 1 measurement but not sure when I'll be by the shop to get it.

 

Guys,

I have a 16 year old mind in a 68 year old body, so you can imagine what kind of brain farts that produces. Indashop, indagarage, hell, the only time I know whats happening is when I'm indarod. Remeber, it's never too late to have a happy childhood. After I'm done screwing this series of posts up I'm going for a drive in the '34.

 

Well driving a '34 is WAY cooler than sitting around here. That's way fer sher!

 

Yeh, it's amazing what a drive in the rod with the wind blowin and the Cherry Bombs rappin can do for your soul. I hope all of you guys get your chance to retire and be able to enjoy your rides whenever you want to.
