Hello guys,

I'm new here.
I live in THAILAND.
I have a 78 Fleetwood brougham which has been sitting for years.
I plan to have my engine overhaule soon.
The car have 425 engine which many of the parts are missing.
For example
Cam shaft
push rod
Intake valve

At the moment I found another cadillac engine at the junk yard here.
It look exactly like a 472/500/425/386 Block
It has light blue plastic valve cover.
I guest that is a 368 from a 1980 Caddy, but I'm not quite sure because I've never seen a 368 here.

If it is a 368, Is it use the same Cam shaft , Valves and push rod as my 425?
So do you guys can give me some advise?
Thank you,:cool2:

The cam shaft and push rods will work just fine... but the valves are smaller in the 368...If you are not going to use new lifters... make sure you keep the old lifters on the same lobes they came off of..
