Speaking of Caddy engines....1969 Coupe de Ville. I pulled the 472 cubic inch motor out, bored it out .060, put an Eldo crank in it, and got high compression heads with large compression chambers. Displacement came out to 515 cubic inches, 8.44 liters. This thing really moved when I was done with it. Never got it to the track to see how fast it was, but it lit 'em up shifting to second gear. My eyeballs pushed back nicely under full throttle.
