[DeVillish]

Well, iam gona start making model cars again, and my first project will be a 59 coupe deville if i can find one. so i was wondering what you guys(and the two girls) would like to see under the hood.

1. Twin turbo North Star
2. V12
3. caddy 500
4.Supercharged LT1

I do some Revells myself. I don't think I've ever seen a Caddy, but let me know if one is available. I'm also looking for a 1971 Olds 442 W-30.

They made a 59 Eldo coupe and convertable way back when but it's been discontinued for some time. As far as what to power it. 500! Keep it Caddy. North stars are cool too but there's that whole "no replacement for displacement" thing . I own an LT1. Put a real motor in it:P.

It's a big car gotta go with the big incher...the TTNS would be my second choice though.

keep the 375 in there. ( I think its a 375) I thought somewhere around 350 hp?

390cid with 300hp. Eldorado had 325hp with the Tri Power intake.

427 Twin turbo LS6 from Lingenfelter's vettes. LOL
Displacement + Forced Induction = Best of both world.

get the 500 from the 1970 eldorado. Only the 1970 had 400 hp, while the rest had 375
