Cadillac Engine

Cusey1685 · 11-30-2007, 02:12 AM

I know it would be spendy, the mechanic said that it would be around 1800 to fix the head gasket and probably cheaper to buy a new engine and have it dropped in.

well since i can't afford a supra yet, any ideas for cars? I live in South Dakota so it needs to handle the snow. I'd like it to be decently fast.

i would definately have the headgasket fixed it would be much cheaper than replacing the engine for sure. if your caddies in good shape i would keep it the hold there value good.

alright, thanks for the input guys. I found a family friend who can fix the Head Gasket for $400 so that should hold decently until i can round up some money. About that impreza, when you say older, are you talking like 2000 or older than that?

yup , i think they are a 97 or older,
i like the older body better
i actually wanted to get the 22b sti, i like its cuz its a 2dr
