Man this thing is awesome! Remember how we said the 500 inch Caddy was going to get boost from a ProCharger? Yeah, well here it is and it rules and we love it and want it. If you missed the first part of this series, here’s the low down on what is going on. Watch the video and you’ll love what you see.
Our friend Richard Holdener has been hanging out in New Mexico with Courtney and the guys at Cad Company, doing some killer dyno testing on a 500 cubic inch Cadillac recently. They put together a stock rebuild and then started putting more and more power parts on it to see just how much power it would make. At 500 cubic inches, these are not little engines, but they were made for cruising but not big horsepower. With that said, they do make amazing torque and very respectable horsepower. But in the previous videos you saw that a camshaft, bolts ons, and testing proved there could be some real gains in power on this thing. Well what if we told you that there was more to be done?
Did you know that there are big valve aluminum heads available for the 472 and 500 inch Caddy? Well there are, and they can support a lot more power. The kind of power the ProCharger will be encouraging the Caddy to make.
Much love for this Caddy build.
And, now, for something completely different………..
I need to do that with my Caddy 500 setting in the back of my garage.
wonder how they made the lower pulley stay attached to the Caddy motor…. cool stuff, though.
