Robb MC makes some nice stuff for sure. I’ve got one of his O-ring sealing swivel water necks on my 455.

ROBBMC fuel pump and regulator installed with -8an line from tank to pump and on to regulator. On to carb with -6an.

Radiator in with correct hoses for A/C compressor

3” Pypes SS system going on. I had to fab up rear mounts since finding MonteSS brackets is tough. Dang this is a tight fit.

You may have already said this, but how strong are these Cadillac engines? Expected output based on similar builds?

-8AN is huge fuel line for a naturally aspirated engine!! What kind of power you plan on making with this monster!?!

Enough torque to twist yo face all permanent like!

I just noticed the injector bosses in the intake. EFI that mutha!!!!

With unported heads and Edelbrock intake this engine made 540hp/625tq. It now has lower 10:1 compression, roller cam, better intake, ported heads, bigger carb, o-ringed copper head gaskets, h-beam rods, main/head studs, etc. Should be better by some amount.

Future plans are a single turbo and 10-12psi and fuel injection.

Exhaust is complete except for cutting to length after bumper install. The full 3” Pypes SS system takes significant effort and cutting to fit to my satisfaction. I’ll bleed brakes tomorrow and bolt on the starter and it will permanently be back on the ground. Rocker arms and MSD 6A wiring and it’s ready to fire up.
