500cid Caddy. GREAT cid to weight ratio, great torque, why isn't it used more? Lack of parts? Expensive parts? Design/engineering problems e.g. easy to break? Some combination of the above? The thing sure looks tempting to me and I wondered if anyone on here has played with them before.
Thanks,

people have been using them for years, just the way Pontiac folks have been using our own. No secrets on the big Cads, they are very well developed. All you need is $$$

So it's just more of an off brand/nonChevy thus more money for parts thing. So it is just like us Poncho guys. http://forums.performanceyears.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://forums.performanceyears.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Thx for the post BVR421.
