Well I don't know then......he had it in a caddy coupe de ville but I cant find a 7.2 caddy option but the dodge one does have a 7.2 and the part numbers he had me matched up with all the dodge ones.
I know it was matched to a hydro auto box
71 caddy had 2 engines a 500cid and a 472cid. You need to find the engine number and find out what you got
oem or brit part type give up a link
link for the store
Doc - Congratulations on you mad purchase.
I think you might be confusing your GM's with your Chryslers
The 440 CI BB is from the Dodge Charger R/T and Challenger and the like - also used in the later Jensen Interceptor, albeit with a milder camshaft
The six-pack was a Chrysler 383 CI engine with three twin-barrel carbs
In the Charger this was known as the Magnum and was fitted to the early Interceptors and some Bristols
Edelbrock do a performer-plus camshaft which gives monster torque off-idle but it will mash most gearboxes - you might have to revert to a 3-speed Chrysler torque-flite 727 as fitted originally to all of the above cars, and also the early RR autos.
I have one with a LR Transfer box already fitted if you are interested - you are welcome to it providing you pay for a pallet but the transfer box is quite new so I would want 150 for that - or else you could fit your own to it.
You should also factor in this engine will be twice as heavy as you RV8 so suspension and brakes will need to be looked at!
Good luck!!!!
Got one sat round back in need of a rebuild so once that's sorted I'll make up an adaptor plate for it and see about getting an overdrive unit
Nah just always wanted a big block and couldn't say no at the price offered
Give Damon of Kingsley Cars a call - he has loads of the LT95's with and without OD sitting in his yard - have a lookat his website and you will see why.
Big Blocks really are great - but hilariously expensive to run...................
But good on you mate..............................................

No doubt it'll bankrupt me but if it gives 25mpg on the motorway I can live with that!

did you get your series finished doc?
if its from a caddy it should be a GM motor and not a 440 mopar like the others have said.
Will it fit width ways in a landy? not sure if you have the suspension turrets like you do in a RRC but there may not be enough distance between them to fit a big block in?
