I shoe horned a 454(BBC)/TH400 in my '52 Cad. If there's a will there's a way. Don't listen to the people telling you it's blasphemy to put an SBC...
5 more days of waiting.... C'mon Saturday!
If you hack the rear of the springs off, what keeps the rearend from moving side to side? Do you add a panhard bar?

"digital speedo only"......... Damn, I got my hopes up.
I made mine where the bottom of the pipes were just a hair above the bottom of the frame, and carried that hight straight back under the axles and...
Just run it under the rear end. If your worried about removing the rear end in the future, just have them put a flange on the pipes just in front...

Before a fiend of mine sold his '54 we were going to cut the top off, raise it up and weld in a filler strip.
Get a cheap high MPG commuter car, and have fun with the hot rod. My DD gets an average of 33MPG back and forth to work, but my Caddy with a...
Speaking from experience, If it's not "THE" car your looking for. Don't buy it. Especially if it's a Cadillac. You would think that all the parts...

I ran Smitty's for a few years and loved the sound. Quiet when cruising, yet loud when rapped up. I have since put a BBC 454 with headers and 3"...
A few can't miss places in/near the Roundup: Austin Speed Shop, BBQ in Lockhart, and South Congress on Saturday night.
Is there any more pics of that Black COE Camper?
Other than Tony slamming into the side of Andy's truck, and Eric mangling his ankle in a turn... everything went well. LOL I would guess there...
I'm not finding a Knobcrest Dr. in that area. Do you have a link to a map?
How do you replace the (green) gear on the output shaft? Remove the nose cone?
Next step is for someone to tell us how to convert an older trans to send a signal to the new speedo.
I did find out that the 331/hydro combo weighs about 75lbs more than a 70's big block Cadillac motor. (425-472-500). A guy at Maximum Torque...
Let me know how those truck headers fit in the frame.... I'm curious.
