You might also want to dig around in a boneyard for the Caddy 500ci engine that was an outgrowth (stroked, I think) of the 472. Eldorados and such had those monstrosities.

Re: Can u help me
I think you should get the motor rebuilt, if it is not in really bad shape. If you can't, try maybe a 427 or something that has always been rated as a good engine.

Re: Re: Can u help me
I would definitely stick with a Cadillac engine. A 500 would definitely be nice. Of course, rebuilding the current engine would be the best choice.
