I particulary appreciate the story of a Fleetwood Brougham (weighing at least what my truck does) pulling a 10,000 pound trailer cross country. It confirms I'm not nuts to consider that motor for this application.
I'll get the motor on the engine stand and pull the pan and check compression and maybe even pull the heads to peak inside. Unless I find something really wrong (guaged by my comfort spending money the day I make the choice) it looks like the Cadillac will be the new power plant.
And Scott, I've read of a few guys using the TBI setup off a 454 to convert one of these big Cadillacs to EFI. If I get brave I may even try that...
1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
