500 cu.in Cadd-O-Grem

["Brien Tourville" <hh7x@xxxx>]

cRaZY! 

I blew up my Dads' '76 500cu.in. Caddie
back when...... I was climbing Storm King 
Mountain - the other side of is where 
West Point Military Academy is - .......
got to the top & a Rod (true.....) let go.

No power brakes on the downside...... mutha!

Stroke is so long it sounds like a Windmill 
when winding up ....... !

I followed that Caddie Engine Builders 
write ups since way back when he started
making manifolds....... It is a Great engine !

You must not of read my poor Hemi went south post did ya? The Heads 
were to wide and I didnt want to cut the shock towers and with the 
Distributor in the back and with the weight of it, It would have put 
to much strain on the front end, so I opted to let her go.
My new project is a Caddy 500! Its the size of a Big Block Ford, but 
weighs 40 lbs more than a small block due to the block material. Im 
looking at 3000 on a rebuild and 500 horses and 550+ ft lbs of 
tourque. Plus at least its not a SBC, so Im going for it. Rod
