Ahh... I see what happened then. The number I quoted was the first year of the motor. I looked at the 79 ones and they had higher numbersChief yelling alot said:

He's on his second 500 Caddy.
He also wore out the D60 rear and is now running a D70 and duals.
4-5mpg.. and with both rigs on the 30' trailer, doesn't pull up hills as fast as it used to with the single trailer (duh), and with the camper thrown in, wind sucks..

But he seems to be happy with the Cad motor, backed up by a TH400, into the (stock) divorced '205.

Well, that same friend with the 500 runs Chevys in most of his other stuff.. including a 14:1 454... but for some reason he opted for the 500 for his tow rig.charlo said:You gotta respect a man who runs a caddy 500(or 513). But for the money cant you get more power from the chevy stuffs.

For a better comparison to your numbers above, lets use the EFI 500:charlo said:You gotta respect a man who runs a caddy 500(or 513). But for the money cant you get more power from the chevy stuffs.

89 454 = [email protected]????rpm and [email protected] or so rpm
87 350 = [email protected] and ???
I guess these numbers arent fair because of the FI but parts availablity and price make these fairly similar numbers look a bit better than the caddies numbers. The caddy takes the lead by far in the bragging rights category.
