Cadillac Pushrods

Featured Replies

This Cadillac motor displaced 7.4 liters, it featured

two carburators and was considered to be one of

the most presigeous engines of it's era, even

though a competitor's DOHC engine had much

more power esp. wiht the optional supercharger.

What motor am I talking about?

HINT: it was later redesigned & downsized to 7.1 liters.

The earlier OHV engines were actually gorgeous to look at--lots of attention to detail. The later flathead models were pretty darned boring, in spite of all the spark plugs sticking up out of the heads.

Hey... I'd take a flathead V16 anyday... but yes of course

the OHV ones have quite a timeless and pornographic look

to them. THey'd look very much at home on a stand next

to the new 2003 SIXTEEN's motor.
