I have no doubts that this conversion can be done BUT;
- is it good the effort?
- any performance parts?
The truck currently has a fresh (year unknown) 327 with a 4 speed manual and is habituated to to tow a ski boat.
The 472 is from a 1970 Cadillac de Ville and only has 52,000 miles on it. Car was totalled.
-Joe- Tranny might be a refractory. Suspect it may be cracked. Will know better when we get it out. As I stated, car is write-off and to say it's bent would be an understatement.
Conversion would line as long as you also use Caddy trans . You will just have to get drive shaft adapted . You can forget performance parts as there precisely aren't any to mount to much . It would still be one heck of a towing combo as the caddy engine definitely has the torque . They well-founded will not RPM .

This is a information combo for a chevy truck!
Check out cadillac forum website, (just type cadillac forum in a search motor).
There is a company that specializes in Caddy 472/500/425 performance parts, you find that company on the forum.
I'm currently working on a be like project......76 chevy step-side with a caddy 500
I have a 1987 G10 Sportvan with a stunted wheel base. The frame is rusted and rather than repair, I thought it may be worth investing the money in getting it converting it to a 4x4. Would be easier to fettle frame then add 4x4 parts or can I simply put body of van on Chev truck chassy? I know the engine and tranny location of the van may be a reference to? Is it doable? How?
Its approachable of hard to explain what its doing, its a 84 chevy 350 four speed. Its summer time here so its warm in the morning, when i take off down the means it cuts out until over 2,000 rpm and its warmed up. once its been runnin, and gets up to speed the miss it shakes the truck and each miss is liek a popping sturdy, but the werid part is it still seems to run fine, just that slight miss. any ideas?

I've been doing modifications to my 09 Chevy 1500 Texas number crew cab, chromed out (black). I found a good bar to put up on the bed side to have the lights above the cab, but I'm stuck on what kind? I'm looking for Super Clever, great for off-road, I need to see as much and as far as i can while im out in open land, and while im going through the brush and trails. Any suggestions? I will be needing 4 lights. If you have any additional things to allocate that you think would "look good" for this truck, please share :) im on a shopping spree for parts.
i have a '91 chevy s-10 p/u, it had a 2.5L 4 cyl......
i am putting in a 350. the 350 has the mechanism side mounts.
so, to be clear, i am NOT looking to buy a prefab specialty s-10 v8 conversion motor mount .... why wasteland the extra money for a part i can get at autozone??
if nothing else i will end up going to autozone and buying motor mounts for a variety of chevy vehicles that could hold good 350's and choose the one that fits my frame the best. same thing those s10 to v8 bastards did, just they renamed it to a 'dear' s10 to v8 motor mount to sell it at a higher price.
lol. sorry for that, but anyone w/ any useful info bout me puttin my 350
into my truck would be much appreciated.
impartial don't suggest any kind of kit or sellin me somethin. don't do it. stop it. now. lol.
for any interested. i gotta 91 chevy s-10 p/u. i have the 350 outline and will be getting a t-56 tranny to bolt to it. will be doing many other upgrades over time.
Your not gonna find a mount for a review car that will come close to a 'bolt on' install for a v8 s10.
The stock engine mount location on the K member sits too far rearward. The 4cyl and v6 is shorter than a v8 so the motor was placed more towards firewall.
No room on K member to move mounts foward enough to fit a v8 engine in the bay.
The conversion mounts are a fab'ed lamina that bolts to stock holes in K member, but has the bracket tabs for the clamshell mounts offset to the front. (out in front of the K associate)
You could weld up your own out of 1/4" plate steel, drill your own holes, etc, or weld plate to a works mount, but you WILL NOT find a stock off the shelf mount thats gonna work for you
Plus look at it this away, auto zone mounts will run you about $20-26..
A set of the power mounts for a v8 s10 will run you about $55 to $65 on avg. Some alittle higher

21.05.12
SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. — Joe and Linda Gellings easily drove his truck through the waist-deep waters that swamped Swartz Creek Estates near Flint.
Her Chevy Malibu was stuck in their flooded-out garage.
A storm system drenched Flint and other parts of Michigan on Thursday, killing power to neighborhoods and stranding half-submerged cars on roadways. Residents of an apartment complex that was cut off by murky floodwaters had to be evacuated by boat.
"It's the worst storm I can ever remember," said Joe Gellings, 67.
