Dunno about moon tank - thinking about beer kegs instead.
Love those pics above. Just gotta think of a cool name for it, something witty like Viva la Viva/ Viva la Gasser etc etc

Tigran, I just recevied my copy of HOT ROD DELUXE magazine and there's an 8 page spread on Caddy engines - dunno if its any good to you but its also got a feature on building fender headers and a great pic of an Altered wheelbase Dodge Dart. I get mine from here [ftp]http://www.americanautomags.com/american_car_magazines_n.html[/ftp] - its under rodandcustoms2 and you can click on the link there (sassy young lady on the cover too)
The article on the caddy engine starts by discussing the 331/365/390 Cadillac - is that the same as yours by any chance??

The 331/365/390 caddy engines are different they're the earlier engines. These are the guys you need to speak to about your 500 www.mtscadparts.com/MTSHome.htmMatt |

Eugh found out it's only a 425 motor and not a 500 as described.
Thanks to the forum at mts for stopping me spending a lot of money on rebuild parts/shipping for the wrong parts.

This is going to be epic! Just cannot wait to see it progress  Shame that engine didn't turn out to be kosher, but i'm sure you'll find another. |

Oh no still having this one street - cannot be bothered to look for another and waste any more time. Gonna pick it up next week.
Then see if my poncy little Sealey engine stand will take the weight of this behemoth!
