Re: Unique 500+ Cubic Inch Engine Swap

The 500 Cad would get the vote a hundred times over from me. I love oddball as much (probably more than) the next guy but that v6 was an odd duck that was put down for a reason.
Caddy bb is a marvel. Huge power/torque, moderately light (lighter than bbc) and as mentioned efficient enough to give decent mileage. 3 to 4 times what the v6 will give. The v6s I was around averaged 4 mpg. Very discouraging and it won't turn the rpm the 500 will.
