Well I'm hoping to improve the handling and brakes on my 1970 cadillac coupe de villle.....Yes I know its a Tuna boat,but its a fairly quick tuna boat but it needs to go around the corners better!
The Jeff swartz car 'cadillac attack'is quite the inspiration for me here's alink http://www.schwartzperformance.com/cadillac.htm
Motor is a 514ci 60 over 500ci caddy big block,kieth black pistons,balanced crank and rods,big valves stuffed in the heads and a lively cam.Backed up with a built and shift kit'd Th400 and an 1800 stall converter.The caddy already has sanderson headers and a full dual exhaust.
Theres alot of good info on here,hoping to put some low profile friendly wheels on the caddy along with some lower and stiffer suspension.Good anchors would be nice aswell.
cheers

I also race a 1930 model A sedan at the Bonneville salt flats, motor is a blown big block caddy running on methanol.

That Caddy would be pro-size touring! The idea of a big Caddy carving corners is great! You should be able to put some huge rubber under the fenders, too.

Imagine it on an autocross course! :seizure:
