With the car stripped down for inspection and maintenance in impound until our backup run tomorrow morning, we thought this would be a good time to talk about the heart of the beast.
Cadillac 500″ engines from the 1970s have very strong high nickel blocks and a lot of stroke, but not much top end. They’re stump pullers.
The Cad Company built this setup to pull 6,000 rpm with forged rods, a custom solid roller cam, exotic ported heads with huge extreme duty valves and a custom fabricated sheetmetal intake from Hogans. Twin 88mm turbos work with the FAST injection system.
Enough tech for now. Soon we will post more video from the run!
