What does anyone thinks about putting an stock 6.0 Vortec & tranny in a 62 Caddy?

I think it would be sweet. Go for it.

I saw one at a car show, the "traditional" rodders scoffed at it, but it was really sweet. Lowered with bags, this thing had a 6.0L from an Escalade complete with transmission and even the Escalade rear end with the disc brakes and all. It was very smooth, very quiet and the guy said it would easily outrun the stock powertrain.......AND get better gas mileage. What more could you ask......classic looks, modern power.

Sounds good to me.

That sounds sick. I"ve often tossed the idea of an LSX in a classic caddy around in my head. Even better would be some upgraded suspension and brakes to make the yacht stop and corner. Hotrod black cadillacs outside a funeral...

It would be PIMP but you should at least throw a decent cam in the mix b/c a big caddy like that should make itself known upon arrival! GO FOR IT!

Yeah.. I get some of the too with my Chevelle.. they just want to see the normal SBC/BBC stuff..

But I can keep up with them, out MPG them and be totally streetable anywhere we go..

I think it would be a cool project.. I just a great time to be cruz'in in the older classic's...
