Wow, that sounds like a totally craptacular POS. Isn't that the car the young guy stole from the bad neighborhood in the recent "Gone in 60 Seconds"?

I was thinking of the El Dorado. I believe it is the ElDog that shares the Caprice\Roadmaster platform. My mistake.

Nope, that's the like 92 or 93-96 Fleetwood, the El Dorado is just a two door Seville, still front drive. Not that I would know or anything
Plus, if it was a Fleetwood, he wouldn't be having these problems

Fleetwoods had 4.1s also..


Cadillacs 4.1 and the 4-6-8 engine were the top of the shit line..

My Caddy has the Olds 307 another garbage engine.. I personally dont think good for the size of the car.. they started using Chevy 350s in either fleetwoods after 90 (90-92?)or the Limos.. I cant remeber..

Theres a guy who has a shop by mine Im not sure of the na,me but he stamps all his Caddy engines Cadillac Perfomance.. or something like that .. he gets the Cadillac 472 and 500s and port and polish the heads.. bore out the engines.. he builds them up for performance..


He has put together alot of sleepers.. but mostly big gas hogs from the 70s..

I was only responding to the reference to the same platform as the roadmaster/caprice comment. The B body cadillac fleetwood came with a throttle body injected 350 for the first couple of years, then the LT1 from 94-96. I realize that they put that piece of shit 4.1 in just about everything in the early-mid 80's, thankfully they stopped.............
