Wow. The 318 in 1971 could have been a beast. There are shops that will rebuild it but the cost is way more than you want to pay. A fun project would be to do it yourself. It will take a long time and parts will be hard to get. You can build it up to as high as 375 horsepower but you're going to...

Man, You have smacked me in the face with a easy one. You got some time? The chevy 350 small block is my baby. First step, pull all the plugs and do a compression test on all 8. If you have a difference of more than 2 pounds on any cylinder, you need to pull the engine apart. It is not as hard...

You've already said it's a Caddy Seville. You might be asking about the transmission. Production designation S69 The Seville was a 4 door sedan. It weighs 4230 lbs and was equipped with a 350 c.i.d. V-8 engine that was rated 180 HP. Take a look here, maybe this will help.

Just about any late '80s through the 90's v6 or small block 8 will drop right in without too much alterations. Hoses and wires to different spots but not too far off. The bell housing should line up fine with your tranny. It's a truck so there's a lot of room to play. You could get an old...
