General Motors' top division, Cadillac, led the way for the corporation's entry into the modern V8 engine era with its all-new 1949 powerplant, an engine that set a new standard for the American car industry.
Brilliantly designed, it featured five main bearings for added strength and rigidity, incorporated high-compression "slipper skirt" pistons as part of the oversquare configuration. That means that the cylinder bores are larger than the length of the stroke of the crankshaft, providing less inertial stress. This translates to higher engine revs and more power!
This particular hot-rodded version features an Eldorado "Power Pack" dual quad intake manifold with two 500 cfm Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors, a Joe Hunt magneto ignition upgrade, tubular headers, and a high-lift camshaft.
With 331 cubic inches and "old school" induction, it provides the smooth performance the original Cadillac engineers designed all those years ago. Plus retains a desirable nostalgia appearance, right down to the "Cadillac" script on the chromed valve covers!
