The 1983 Cadillac has OBD I and DFI. I have absolutely no idea what module issues might be incurred with the swap. The best results will likely be obtained by divorcing the engine and PCM from the rest of the car, except for the oil warning light and the temperature gauge. Saying it's a 355 means that this is likely an aftermarket rebuild bow-tie 350 bored .030 over, almost certainly ...

Only 93,000 miles? With the damage to the piston, this appears to be caused by destructive detonation that damaged the piston which in turn damaged the sleeve, mileage has nothing to do with damage like this, this is neglect. And I dont even mean intentional neglect, just someone driving this car that did not watch/listen for detonation and it took its toll. Seems that water got into ...

i would vote for finding a good 4100 or maybe 4500, much has been said about late 80's swaps where you move up in displacement with no major install issues. even if i found a really good deal on a SBC, i might pass.

Here is an article on Detonation and Pre-Ignition by Al Cline. Al Cline is a Northstar Powertrain Engineer. This article illustrates the complexities of detonation and pre-ignition, and states that detonation can cause destructive pre-ignition and engine damage can occur. Something caused the top of your piston to be damaged. What kind of spark plugs did you use, were they the stock...

If you read the original post, then look at the photo, think hydrolock. It loks like maybe excess oil was sucked through the PVC tube and hydrolocked a cylinder while the car was running.

Hi, sorry, in Sweden we call it "gangster cap" it´s a sunvisor mont outside the front window. It can be of steel or plastic. Old car often had it mont. Look here: http://www.annonsborsen.se/veteranbilar-16...upe-7 99453.html Sunvisor on top of the front window. This post has been edited by Caddy 54 : Sep 2 2009, 02:17 PM

QUOTE (PAUL T @ Dec 10 2009, 06:45 PM) Update, I got the my 97 Deville back from the mechanic today with the rear brake lines fixed. Cost was $80 which is $10 more than changing the fuel pump, I was expecting more. This was for the line across the rear axle and the small line on the drivers side to the rubber line. For comparison, changing the fuel pump in the tank was cheaper or easier than changing the...

Well I called around to a few glass companies, and most can't replace the heated windshield. They offered a regular windshield, and told me the heated ones aren't made anymore. I found one company that will call around and find an OEM heated one for me. I think I'm going...
