Ed Luddy Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Cool car with a great transplant engine. Very early "upgrade" choice going with the OHV HotRod dream engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Transplanting the '49 Caddy OHV 331 ci V-8 was thought to be the best of the replacements for the Lincoln V-12 which was considered anemic, as well as less than dependable by many folks, back in the day. Others also substituted a Ford 59AB, or a period Mercury engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) I looked at a ‘48 Lincoln at auction for a person on this board. Cadillac conversion. The installer even put a plate on the firewall with his name! Todd, do you have any record of who did the conversion and when it was done?
