Anyone know if really old 3-piece (1957) Hilborn SBC Injection setup will fit a Cadillac? The guy I got it from said the top could be used on Caddy... I have attached a few pictures to help the experts. Specs: 1 -11/16" throttle bores 1 -7/8" & 7"distance between stack bolt centers 4-1/2" distances between intake bolt holes Anyone have a Hilborn for Caddy that they can measure? Thanks, Andy
call me 831-753-7637. i've got one sitting on the shelf i can measure for you. i can also make a stencil of the flanges. michael
Thanks Michael (yougsspeeed) for digging out your hilborn and taking measurements over the phone! The measurements between the Chevy & Caddy manifolds are off by ~3/8" or so. The next step I took was to buy a intake gasket set for a 1959 Caddy and see how they lined up... Well they don't. The ports are the same size but the length between the ports is different. I have attached a couple pictures to show the difference. Does anyone know if the spread on Caddy ports changed in the earlier 50s motors? Thanks again, Andy
I picked up one of these a couple years ago, mostly because I thought it was cool. Is this a rare piece?
