Folks Of Interest Old time Cadillac builders

So, over the last year or two I have been researching Cadillac V8’s. I have a acquired a 1962. 390 and have plans for a future build.

The problem that I have ran into is that the guys that used to run them are all dying off.

I would love to get the names of guys that used to run them in the drag cars etc back in the day.

Does anyone know of a guy that had a love of the 331,365, 390 Caddys? I would love to pick their brains for speed secrets etc. Who was able to make a Caddy run?

 

Hoping for a lot of response.

 

You and me both. I have a feeling this thread will die a slow, painful death...

 

Squeak Bell is the first one to come to mind... however, I don't know how to contact him.

 

Your right they are ether dead or thinking about it.

 

I would love to find a guy that campaigned a Caddy powered hot rod in the 50’s-60’s.

 

I would contact Ross Racing Engines in Ohio. They are known for their Oldsmobile stuff but they've built them all. I think if you called they could probably give you some advice.

 

The Stude is a damn near copy. Try those guys?
