Cadillac 500 stick adapter

Anybody know of a company making stick adapters for the late caddy 500? Four speed or five gears.

 

These guys?

Seems like there was a couple other companies making those kits, but damned if I can find 'em now.

 

I put a four speed behind a 500 with a stock Pontiac bell housing check the swaps the fly wheel was more of a problem finding, I found one in New Mexico I froget where it was but they carry all the caddy stuff. Hope this helps

 

Bellhousing isn't the problem like paintcan54 said. Any BOP bell lines up just fine but the flywheel for it runs about 500.00 last I knew.

 

+3 on the BOP bell. You have to drill the crank for the pilot bearing, too, right?

 

Thanks guys, my buddy is trying to pull off this swap on the cheap. I'll p*** this info to him.

 

Yep. Gotta have the crank machined for the pilot bearing. My understanding is that none of the Caddy cranks have a pilot bearing provision.

 

yessiree...all autos in the later Caddy's...

Edit: I dunno if my computer is slow, or if it's me

I had a caddy 500 in my work truck with a 5 speed NV4500 behind it,The flywheel is definately the spendy part,the crank can be drilled by hand using a regular drill.There is a pilot bushing available that fits into the torque converter register,the crank just needs a clearance hole drilled in it for ****** input shaft clearance,this can be done with the motor ***embled.
Get in touch with MTS

 

I'll chime in and say the MTS guys are great.
