Cadillac Engines

With 8 generations of the V8 engine since 1914, Cadillac has more experience making the V8 than any other automotive manufacturer. When Cadillac unveiled its 500 cubic inch engine in 1970 it was the largest V8 ever produced but market shifts throughout the ‘70s forced the company to downsize their cars and engines. Cadillac carried on their tradition of automotive excellence with the emergence of the Premium V engine family including the illustrious Northstar V8, a die-cast all-aluminum DOHC 32-valve engine complete with cast-iron cylinder liners and a fail-safe cooling mode that allowed the engine to be air-cooled and run for 100 miles with no coolant and no damage.
