    Was there ever such a thing?
    I'm thinking with Chevy V-8 both small block and 348/409 available back then who messed with a 63 Cad??

    I have a 54 Chev Wagon thinking of making into a G***er.
    I could hot rod the Inline 6 or I also have a 63 Cad motor not doing anything right now?

    I'm close enough to drive to Famosa for a real Run what Brung car!!

    I had a '64 Cad., and there was a message board just for Caddy performance....what I found was it was more geared to the 472 and 500 motors, not so much the 390 and 429....
    There are some parts out there, but expensive....if you can find a 472, there is alot of stuff for those motors...

    63 was the first year of the 'modern' Cadillac engine. As far as I know the heads are farther apart than the early engines. A log-style manifold will bolt up, but others will require a spacer/adapter.
