Gearhead daydreams

Hi all,

A high compression 500 in. Cadillac engine is about to fall in my lap.
Since I am wagonless and this thing would be right at home in a GM G body I've been daydreaming about a swap.

Anyone with a G body, wagon preferred, with little to no rust and a presentable interior that wishes to sell please contact me.
Mechanicals obviously are unimportant.
Help feed the monster.

 

For the uninformed Ford guy (moi), what is a G-Body?

 

Malibu, Regal, Cutlass, LeMans '78 to 80 something. The downsized GM "mid size" rear drivers.

 

How big is your shoehorn for that Caddy 500? Heck if Cadipacer can, you can get in there. It's gonna howl!

 

It's a pretty common swap actually. There is an entire industry built around hot rodding and swapping this particular engine.
"No replacement for displacement" as the saying goes.

 

I hear they are fairly light for their size as well. Hope you find a nice wagon to put it in.

 

There's a guy on anther car site that has a 472 in a Bu. Nice job, too. Used to have pix but i can't find them. I do love big blocks.

 

.....78 thru 87...RWD....oh and Monte Carlo and Grand Prix

 

Prior to 78, those were A-Body.

 

If you don't find a good g-body wagon I have a 68 A body Buick Sportwagon from out west!! I am close too! The 500 will be kick butt in a malibu wagon. I used to have one with a mild 355 in it and it was a blast.

 

has anyone ever thought of swapping a late model GM 8.1 (commonly found in 2500-3500 silverado's or sierra's)into a B body or other gm?
