The Cadmaro: Part Last
Flyboy Started conversation Mar 4, 2002
The Cadmaro project went belly up in early August. The engine wouldn't fit without either stock manifolds or a hammered firewall. I gave up on the Camaro when I realized I really didn't like it, and the Cadmaro project was just a last attempt to find something I liked about the car.
In December I found a '69 Cadillac Calais for $100. I did a little bit of tuning on it (and corrected the spark plug wire order) and it runs like a champ. It came from the factory with a 472, the same engine as the 500 but with a bit less bore. The engine and tranny are going into this car as soon as I get my house.
That's the final part of this update - I'm finally buying a house with a 2-car garage. I won't move in for another month and a half, but when I do the weather will be warming up and I'll be ready to do some hot-rodding on both the Cad and my RX-7.
