It's a bit open right now. I want to keep it relatively stock looking on the interior/exterior. I'm having copies of the original wheels made in slightly larger diameter.

Twin turbo LS is the logical choice to move this much car around but I'm not sure if it's "right".

I considered doing an STS-V supercharged northstar. Also maybe a 500ci LS with dual 4bbl throttle bodies and a fabricated batwing air cleaner so at a glance it looked somewhat stock.

I think the best engine would be a Falconer V12 but it's been done and it's a little pricey

Is this the same intmd8 that is envolved with speed Inc? If so, I really look forward to what you end up doing. I still watch your tt lt1 video from maxton.

Yes and thanks. Maxton was a good time, good thing the ol LT1 held together so I had a ride home.

All those engines sound awesome. But to me nothing says classic caddy like a BB 502 twin carb. Just this monster of an engine and all you hear when you hit the gas is tires squealing and carbs sucking air.
