JoeinCA Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hey, i was wondering if the dimesnions of the caddy v8s are the same or similar to the chevy. in terms of mounting locations, and things like height, wieght, or length ... basically, can i cram one into my 77 280Z? Thanks for your time. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinCA Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 I'll have to look through the searches again... I wasnt planning on using a 500ci engine... just looking for more possible donors, though i may have found a deal on a little 305 which would be nice to use until i can get around the smog limit (77). if anyone has some more info i would be glad to hear it. Thanks for your time, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I'm a MAJOR caddy fan!! I belive the "caddy" 305 your getting is actually a chevy. In the dark ages of automobiles(i.e. the late 70's, mid 80's), GM used a few motors in just about every car. I've seen old's motors in caprice, caddy, pontiac, as well as a fleetwood w/ a chev 305. Actual cadillac V8's in that year range include-4.1L(weiner), 368ci(weiner), 425ci(weiner), & 500ci(not weiner). I would LOVE to see that Cad-Z or whatever page!!!! Anyone have the link???
