1997 Cadillac eldorado engine in a Wag??

Anyone tried this before, yes I know is a transverse engine but a GM bell housing might bolt up to it to make it a RWD

[Stuka]

Typically transverse engines have enough differences that it can be a pain to make them longitudinal. This normally involves oiling differences to deal with the different directional forces the engine will see, plus accessories and such.

With so many engine options out there, this would not be the one to choose. Plus you would need a standalone ECU for it since you would not be able to use the transmission.

I was thinking the same thing as Stuka. I really like the Northstar engines, but they built the car around it. With all the other options for modern rollerized aluminum MPFI engines (gm=cheap/easy, Ford=Michigan pride, Hemi=nuff said) there's no reason for a Northstar that stands up to any scrutiny.

With enough money you can swap anything.

But modern engines tend to be very tightly integrated. Some, like the GM truck/corvette engines have the aftermarket support. Others like Ford and Chrysler to a lesser extent. Cadillac, not so much.

If you really want to do it, there is always a way. But you're signing up for a lot of money and difficulty.

They have a lot of issues with burning oil. I wouldn't want one.

Only caddy motor I'd choose is the 472/500.

Many years ago one of the Jeep Mags did it. They put it into a small CJ I think.

I believe that was JP/Christian Hazel or the panel cherk murderer. And I believe it was a Shortstar V6?
