Re: Whoa...


  Stop with this thread!  I caught myself measuring the engine
  compartment of the 5KS yesterday.  At this point I'm almost
  convinced the only way to get rid of the "bucking" problem
  I'm having with the car is to install a Northstar engine.
  I did a similar conversion on my fathers Mercyless Benz
  250 Sedan, I put a dorF 351 Cleveland in the car, it was
  a bullet off the line, but since I kept the original
  diff, the revs at high speed cruising blew the engine.
  I put everything back to stock....that was worse than
  the initial conversion.  I'm going to the insurance
  auctions this weekend....I wonder if they'll have any
  flipped or rear ended Caddies there.....?

  I'll measure the next Northstar I come across, but it
  seems like the motor mounts will have to be raised in
  order to get clearance in the engine bay.

  BCNU,
