Hello all, I have recently purchased a 1955 Cadillac series 62 sedan complete (minus engine and transmission.) i am looking for build info. my goals: 454 BBC, turbo 350 trans swap. i already have and are already built. Drag car rear end ford 9" shortened to keep fender wells appear stock from the onlooking eye. I know the process will be long and painstaking yet, i don't care i want a family cruiser yet strip ready, any front suspension upgrades as in crown vic swaps for steering etc. fitment of this motor will be tight but i would like to keep firewall as stock as possible i have seen a couple different years that have had this done already but i haven't been able to talk with anybody that has actually done it. so if you will please point me in the way of a thread that has already been started before i start a new one that would be appreciated thank you.
The search*****on has helped me a ton. It always has useful info. My 2cents maybe you should put a th400 behind your big block because they're stronger. Also a nice Cadillac engine would look good in that Cadillac, big block Cadillacs are cool too but I'm not one to knock a Chevy.

Thank you for the input. I know putting it back to factory is a big thing... but we have a grave yard of them that are inline for restoration i want to have something different and something that only i have, this project will be fun and gm is gm in my case lol.
I wasn't thinking the original drivetrain more like a 390, 472 or a 500 Cadillac engine read up on them you might like what you read. Have a good night Sent from my SM-J727T1 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
