GnatGoSplat Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Is that the RWD version? I would rather keep the GP. 80's Cadillacs are fugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob95CS Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hmm... I looked this up (I wanted to see what they looked like) and according to every site I've been to, the '87 Fleetwood was never optioned as a coupe. Only a sedan. Stock engine would've been the caddy 4.1L V8 as well, so that's definately a custom engine. What's the CID on a 6.0L anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 a 6.0L would be right around a 365. they werent that quick, they were so big and heavy that it kinda outweighed the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomFE3 Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 the older caddilacs had a 472 in them, thats huge, but they werent very fast, the cars they put them in were huge alsothat would be right around a 7.9 liter engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.P.Productions Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 My bad its a 86 but its Coupe devile Fleetwood.....it looks like big body 4 doors from the same year.... and not all the 80's caddies came with the 4100 V8, I've seen em stock with chevy 350's, the caddy 4-6-8 engine(has selonoids in theheads that disable certain cylinders tosave gas), and some more engines like the 4.1 liter v6(short star) but the under the hood it says 427 (my idot brother told me that that was a 6.0)......but now that I finde out its a 7.9 I realy want the shit the car is pretty heavyI gotta check but I think its around the same weighte as a 96 impala(Im not sure on that one tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 A 1986 Fleetwood had a 307ci (5.0L) V8. 472 is actually 7.7L, and it's not the biggest. 72-76 (I think) Eldorados got 500cid engines (stroked 472's) which is 8.4L. I think all the big Caddies 74-76 had the 500cid engine as well. First year for the 472 was 1968. It was first used in the FWD Eldorado and that car could do 0-60 in 8.9s which is not bad for a car of that size (faster than most gen 1 W-bodies). After the 500 was the 425, basically the same as the 472/500 but smaller bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
