	Cadillac Summary
		Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners.
		In the 1930s, Cadillac added cars with 12- and 16-cylinder engines to their range, many of which were fitted with custom coach-built bodies; these engines were remarkable at the time for their ability to deliver a combination of high power, silky smoothness and quietness.
		Cadillac's first tailfins, inspired by the twin rudders of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, appeared in 1948; the 1959 Cadillac was the epitome of the tailfin craze, with the most recognizable tailfins of any production automobile.

	Cadillac V8 engine at AllExperts
		This engine was modified with a 3.5 in (88.9 mm) bore for the 1936-1948 346 inÂ³ (5.7 L) engine.
		For 1964 the engine was bored to 4.13 in (104.9 mm) and stroked to 4.00 (101.6 mm), raising displacement to 429 inÂ³ (7.0 L).
		Although the modernized engine was compact and light for its displacement and output, 429 inÂ³ represented the limit of the original architecture's expansion, and it had been surpassed by Chrysler's 440 and Lincoln's 462.

	Oldsmobile V8 engine at AllExperts
		The engine could be classified as a small-block, but Oldsmobile used a higher deck height for a 4.25 in (107.9 mm) stroke to boost displacement to a big-block-like 455 inÂ³ (7.5 L).
		The Oldsmobile engine was very similar to the Buick engine, but not identical: it had larger combustion chambers with flat-topped (rather than domed) pistons, six bolts rather than five per cylinder head, and slighly larger intake valves.
		The primary problem with GM's Diesel engines of the 1970s was due in large part to poor fuel quality (diesel fuel was notoriously filthy and contaminated with water in the late 1970's), which caused corrosion in the fuel injection pump.

	Inside GM Powertrain - Car Craft Magazine
		Cadillac's Northstar engine made quite a splash in the automotive press when it debuted nearly a decade ago.
		The key to the improved output of the new engine seems to be the variable valve timing used on all four camshafts.
		Previously, the Northstar had only been offered in front-drive applications, though some hot rodders have figured out how to set it in a proper north-south configuration with impressive results, both visually and viscerally.

	Cadillac Forums: Cadillac FAQ and Technical Reference
		The Northstar engine in particular was designed to be a high performance engine and to perform well at high speeds and high loads.
		The Northstar engine is actually cold-protected against too high of an RPM as the heavy throttle upshifts will be forced sooner and there is a lower rev limiter on the engine until it warms up sufficiently so you really can't hurt it even if you try...
		Many oil consumption complaints on the 2000 and later engines are related, to some extent, with the rings never seating to the sides of the ring-grooves due to lack of load as the engine was babied around forever.

	2006 Cadillac XLR-V - Top Speed
		Called the Northstar V-8 SC (supercharged), the engine produces 440 horsepower (328 kW) at 6400 rpm and 425 lb.-ft. (576 Nm) torque at 3600 rpm (power and torque figures estimated) and the engines power is underscored by its ability to deliver 90 percent of its peak torque between 2200 and 6000 rpm.
		These modifications increased the flow of air to the engine by 30 percent, funneling it from the front air intake over the radiator and to the supercharger via two ducts, which converge into one prior to reaching the supercharger so only one mass air flow sensor is required.
		The Northstar V-8 SC is mated to the all-new Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission the first use of General Motors new six-speed automatic in a rear-mounted configuration.
