Are you people trying to make me insane, with that familar sounding cad exhaust gurgle, and speedometer ripping from one side to the other video footage? Im still crusing around in a 1.6L diesel car
... If anyone cares to know, my 0-55 time on it was 20 seconds. I was going to do the 0-60, but it was taking waay to long so I just said screw it and stopped the watch. Also, I passed someone in it. Myes... 45hp to the ground, hit 65mph while doing it.
Im going into the airforce, and if it all works out for me, I should have some spending cash when I get back. Guess what im doing when I get back?
Latley I have been thinking of swapping in a cummings turbo diesel engine and trans into the '77 CDV. You know, save on gas and enjoy the 600Ft-Lbs of torque. But, I think id rather swap in a build up 500CI.
If the rest of you havent grabbed all of the 500CI engines out of the junkyard, then as soon as I can, I will certainly mash the go pedal on my diesel car up to spokane and rip out a 500CI or two, and bring them home on a trailer.
Btw, on ebay, there was a pre-hotrodded cad engine bored out to 514 inches for $6,000. Yeah, pricey, but it was shiney. They also had a blower to fit it for around $3,000. But, it was one of those real monstor sized blowers. That would really crap on my whole "keep it looking stock" agenda of mine.
These cadillac engines are wonderfull things. Hopefully, 4 years from now, gasoline wont be much over $3.00 per gallon.
