89/90 Cadillac Seville?

Joe Toller · 08-17-2013, 03:48 PM

I was looking over a car for a friend of my wife she wanted to buy, its a 90 Cadillac Seville, 4.5 V8, FWD. This little thing scoots! I was wondering, has anyone ever raced one? I would bet it could hit the CF/S index (15.15) with little work. I almost wanted to buy the car out from under her, it is a blast to drive! Might be a FWD sleeper for someone out there...

Just make sure you carry a gallon of engine or block sealer. They are known for blowing head gaskets.

Hahaha, I forgot about that issue. She bought the car as a a cheap daily driver and I already have a stocker project so I'm safe lol.

I think Mike Senia (Yank Converters) ran a 4.5 in an Eldorado or a Seville. The engine with the head gasket problems was the 4.1 L , that problem was fixed for the 4.5 and 4.9 L engines.
