Not sure if the 500 ever came in a rear wheel drive car.
Every 500 powered car I've owned was in a front wheel drive Eldorado.
Great in the winter!
Could always bolt a tremec on that beast..lmfao
There should be no bracket!
The slop in that bracket is causing your problems.
Needs to be straight..not a W shape.
Connect your kickdown to the carb....if it doesn't fit..get the correct cable or move the bracket holding the kickdown cable closer to the front of car.
Build the engine.
No better feeling than having your engine all torn apart on a bench.
Put it together with all new parts.
When that motor comes to life..youll have the greatest HIGH there is...
Prices today are high.
I just use the old turbo 400 and pay as I go.
New transmission will be $2000.
Why not swap a tremec for another $1000.
Shouldn't take long to recoup the savings in fuel...
500 cadillac is a great engine.
Vintage air kit is about $1000 and includes new compressor.
They may have had to remove the stock ac components to get the engine to fit.
