Hmm doesnt say if the pistons and rods are forged,hyp or cast? or any actual specs other than a custom grind for the cam

Sweet, Ive got Maddog racing... in my ebay faves

Can't remember if I bought anything from them though

Wouldn't Andy be able to get all that? Cheaper?

Thats pretty comprehensive isn't it!

especially nice that they will do the cam as you like, + they can obviously accomodate rebores etc because it says state piston sizes on ordering.

I agree

I'd guess not. It's just a "slightly tweeked" stock kit.

I don't mind getting a more "radical" kit, but I don't want to spend years machining stuff or getting stuff custom made to make it all fit together.

Before I brought anything like that I'd give Andy the details and just say I want a mild custom jobbie . . .

I want a mild custom 500cid jobbie . . .

It would be interesting . . . . But I really must keep the Caddy Mild Custom.

Otherwise it'll end up being off the road for years to come.

perhaps i'm missing the point, but surely a caddy motor want to be as smooth and quiet as possible?

couldn't imagine a rolls royce with a lumpy cam and naughty motor, and caddy is the american rolls....

Yeah, but I wanna be different.

Actually that was gonna be one of my projects, rolls royce with a 8-71 blower and a big block now that would look cool

rollers are cheap as chips these days mate.....

£5000 can buy a bentley T1

I'd want more power while keeping it quiet and smooth.

philoldsmobile · July 15, 2006, 11:57:55 AM

i'd like to see one with a northstar in it....

Been Done, Mate.

A '57 Brougham with a 2004 Northstar . . . . All wrong if you ask me . . .

Like that 56 Chevy with the TPI lump in it . . .
