    I need a bottom pulley for my 63 caddy but I don't know what to look for. The '63 390 is sort of a hybrid between the old 390s and the 429s. Does anybody know if it shares the same crank pulley as either the early 390 or the 429?
     
  2. If you don't get an answer here, you might try the message board at www.cadillaclasalleclub.org

    Mostly a bunch of restorers over there, but some pretty knowledgable people. They were a big help to me when I went through my 331.

  5. Don't know about the pulley thing but the '63 390 is a bit of an orphan......just try lookin' at rebuild kit prices as a guide. They're a pig to get things for....well, in Australia they are!

    You do have a point...but aussies think anything with more than 6 cylinders is an orphan! Just kiddin man, the motor ran until the pulley dissapeared...so I don't think I'll be rebuildin it (thank God)
