83 wagon "blue"

As promised, pictures!
Not much to look at now, hopefully in a few months i will be driving it again!
Engine plan is just roll a set of bearings in it, gasket set and run it with a Edelbrock performer and Qjet. Stock cam in this should make for a sweet daily driver.

Talked the wife into a Cadillac 500/th400 for the wagon!

Trading my buddy my 3.42 geared 7.5 for his 2.73 geared 7.5, going to run 235/75r15 tires and open to try and keep the rpms down and not blow the rear axle too quick. Should be a RIOT!

I believe there's a member who has a 500 cu in Caddy in his Malibu wagon. There was also a guy I remember a few years back that had a really cool Malibu wagon done in Hot Rod Flatz burgundy paint. His was also powered by a 500 cube Cadillac .
With the torque those things put out, you won't need lower gears. You're gonna blow the tires off that car. :lol:

Any updates on the caddy engine?

The guy called me back a week later and it has a rod knock, I plan on daily driving this thing after the engine swap so I decided to continue with the vortec 350 in search of better mileage. Going to get some pictures of the vortec today and post them for ya guys,.
