The Cadillac V8 side valve engines were also available as twin pack and quad pack close coupled units for industrial and marine applications. I was unaware of this until not so long back on one of the forums somebody posted a wartime advertisement extolling the virtues of these engines and the useful part they were playing in the defeat of the Axis.
Many years ago the airline I worked for had V8 Caddi's powering ground equipment. They were said to come from landing craft. I always loved to hear them burst into life. According to Wikipedia, Ward's listed the V8 L head Cadillac as being one of the ten best engines of the 20th century. I can well believe it. Good luck with your restoration Rob, anything powered by these engines has got to be a joy. David
