Ken and R.M.{down under} Getting close to rolling my galvanized frame 507 w/Hubler conv. under my 78. If you ore doing the build yourself make sure you debur the block really well. Cut my hands up bad, soft wet skin and all. Also, debur the block around the cam bore. Very, very important!!!!! I wrecked two bearings and had to buy another set, AND clean the block a second time. It shaved the OUTSIDE of the bearing!!! One mod I made was a 3/8 water tube from the back of the heads. Cad manifolds are dry. The coolant runs into the block, up into the head and then back down into the block, then forward. ??????? Look on the Cadillac Power Forum for good fotos. You can always plug them if you don,t like it later. One of these days I'll post fotos, got to gret the kids to help. The serpentine belt worked durring breakin. But the alt. and AC were not under load, but nothing flew off. I also drained the oil on my 500. Put the motor on a stand and removed the pan and found 3/4 inch of SLUDGE that didn't drain overnite. Glad I didn't run it first. Spent over 4 hours on cleaning and painting just the pan.
Good Luck,,,Paul{cant wait to finish} Leavitt
PS,,,,,,,,-5 today,,4 inches of snow on the ground and I won't be able to close the MH door untill the clip is all the way in!!!!
