Cadillac 429 rebuild

So will it be done for the February weekend?

Should be.....I hope!

Tomorrows job is to whip out the old engine and make a start on prepping ready for the dumb iron swap. Got to take off the steering guard and wings basically

Need to make a mock up of the boxes to sit on the back of the engine so I know where to drop it in but other than that my to do list is pretty small!

Well he's always got the disco in case

Health and safety went out the window tonight so no comments as I already know.....


Definitely moving the series onto the flat part of the back yard before fitting the new engine too...... so much effort on a gravel covered hill!

feck that, and in this weather as well. Your nuts Drivel

Still, crack on and all that!

Yeah I did end up a bit wet


But I has a time limit so must push on

put 3/4 plywood down, engine hoist will roll easier

Even on the scaff boards it wouldn't roll, it ground itself out getting under the vehicle


Doesn't matter though its out now and palletised ready for Rob to put into his series, mine will be getting the caddy engine in after new years with a twin rad set up in the back and helper pump

Didn't look like you had wood under the front rollers/wheels, just the back had wood

Couldn't get wood under the front wheels! They were buried deep hence needing the hi lift to force it back

The bit of plywood I had wouldn't have been tough enough anyway
