429 to 472? - 2/15/2008 3:35:18 PM    6cadillac6   Posts: 2 Score: 0 Joined: 2/15/2008 Status: offline First off, I hope I posted this in the right forum. I've got the 429 in my '66 which I will need to rebuild this year but I was pondering the idea of swapping in a 472. I'm new to Cadillacs and I'm looking for as much info on what is involved in the swap. Thanks for your time and help, I appreciate it. _____________________________ Brandon Post #: 1

From pix your car is very clean, I would try keep it original unless major engine failure. (in reply to 6cadillac6) Post #: 2
