It’s actually a 750 cfm. I looked down the throat and it didn’t have the two little bumps the 800’s have. I had two that I sold for my brother never figured on having something to put them on. But I got all the parts after some searching! Thank you though!!
Good Lord, they didn't think a 500 ci engine could use more cfm? Crazy, exactly why they are malaise era cars.
True, but the intake is a major strangulation factor for power. As I read it is an up flow intake to make the carb and air cleaner fit under the hood. Meaning after the carb it goes down then up to get into the heads. That’s per a Cadillac performance site and parts sales. If you go back and look at the picture of the engine I posted, you can literally see how it was that way. 😓Cost of the aluminum performance intake is not cheap!
Thank you! Being a New England car it was rust proofed and sound deadening. Though salt and water coming in the front and rear windows due to the vinyl roof rust rotted out the floors and trunk. It’s basically a 2-3 year car at best. Motor/transmission runs great so it will go in a ratrod. Scary is it’s almost all original.
