Obviously no one here has experianced a Caddy 472/500. They sound amazing, look quite cool, have amazing power potential, are easy to work on, and are about 50 lbs heavier than a SBC vs 200 lbs heavier for a BBC. Why they never caught on as drag racing engines is something my dad is confused about.
seriously, a 500 cid engine that puts out 95 horses PER LITER at over 6000 rpm, which is super car territory, is pretty impressive no matter how you slice it.
