CTS-V usually had a LS based pushrod V8. LS2 and LSA if I recall correctly.

Cadillac seems to always need their own specialty V8's. Look at the 4.4L Northstar in the XLR-V and and STS-V. Fairly certain those were the only two vehicles that used that engine.

If you’re serious about driving it to MOAB, I’d start looking on the forums for an overdrive setup, otherwise you’ll be maxed out at 40-45 mph.

He’ll be lucky to run at a constant 45-50 mph.

Not functional in the slightest.

2006-2008 Shelby GT Mustangs had hood scoops that were riveted on...

Ugh, I particularly hate GM drum brakes with that stupid horseshoe spring!

I’ve been blessed in my life to be able to drive everything from big block muscle cars (my favorite was a ‘68 Plymouth GTX 440 4-speed) to modern performance vehicles (I worked at Ford Racing for a few years -GT500's, the original 5-cylinder Focus RS, BOSS 302's, supercharged 5.0's) as well as my time spent in GM…

I had an ‘88 Dakota 4x4 5-speed I bought for 300 dollars. Drove it for 7 years before it rotted in half. Sold it for 450! I was quite sad to see it go, one of the best trucks I’ve ever owned.

That isn’t the standard grille. That grill is only available on the Limited.

Jesus is a car guy, after all he builds hot-rods on the side...

So you now own 3 running/driving XJ’s. Whats next? The truck or the CJ?

Cars got alotta pickup.

Based on that grille it is a 70-71.

Not from where I’m sitting.

That shows you how little of a shit I give about that portion of FCA :)

Or, even better, Google buys the “C” portion from FCA, and the “F” portion can do precisely that to themselves.

For stubborn stuck on lug nuts, use a jack handle (or other pipe) as an extension on your breaker bar.

With the “leaning tower of power” and the A833 4-speed overdrive trans in it, that car is good for 30+ on the highway all day long.

Stuntman Mike says “Good luck with that.”
