	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Big block V8
		A big-block engine is a North American V8 in a family of engines which generally have greater than 6 litres (360 cubic inches) of displacement; factory engine sizes reached a peak of 8.4 litres (500 cubic inches) in Cadillac's 1970s range.
		Smaller V8 engines are known as small-blocks; some members of small-block engine families may exceed 6 litres, blurring the distinction somewhat.
		The term is normally used only for engines from the "Big Three" (Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Chrysler Corporation) since the other companies did not keep two V8 engine size families.

	Cadillac Eldorado (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Cadillac had never before made a coupe with no accompanying sedan (there wouldn't be a four-door front-drive Caddy until the 1980 Seville), and the '67 Eldorado was also the only coupe that wasn't offered as a convertible.
		Sharing most of its engineering again with the also-redesigned Olds Toronado, (as well as the new-for-'79 Buick Riviera), the engine in the new Eldo was in fact an Oldsmobile design; the same 170 horsepower 350-cubic-inch, fuel-injected V8 installed in the Seville four-door.
		Based on the 6.0-liter Cadillac V8, the V-8-6-4 theory was that individual cylinders would be electronically shut down as engine loads varied; a V8 for acceleration, a V6 for moderate loads and a V4 during cruise.

	Cadillac STS Reviews and Ratings - 2005 Cadillac STS New Car Test Drive
		The 2005 Cadillac STS is a five-passenger sedan with a choice of engines, a V6 and a V8.
		Recognizing that, Cadillac engineers designed the STS engines to generate lots of torque throughout the rev range for responsive performance at all engine speeds.
		The V8 uses electronic throttle, or drive-by-wire, to match the engine's performance to a variety of driver demands, from sedate interstate cruising to rambunctious backroad motoring.

	Northstar V8: Servicing GM's Top-of-the-Line Engine, Larry Carley, Tomorrow's Technician, August 2004
		Introduced in 1993 in the Cadillac Allante, Eldorado and Seville STS, the 4.6L 32-valve dual overhead cam all-aluminum V8 engine was a quantum leap forward for U.S. automakers.
		In 1994, the first Northstar V8 (L37) was joined by a second version (LD8) with a different cam profile that lowered peak horsepower slightly to 270 hp, but increased torque output in the lower rpm range for improved throttle response and quick acceleration.
		Cadillacs are crammed with electrical accessories that put quite a load on the charging system, so using liquid cooling helps prolong the life of the alternator.

	Celebrating 50 years of Chevy V8 Small Block Power: 1955-2005, Larry Carley, Tomorrow's Technician, October 2005
		The 1949 Cadillac engine was an "oversquare" design with 3.81-inch bores and a 3.62-inch stroke, giving it a total displacement of 331 cubic inches.
		Though corporate engines are developed and built by teams of engineers, there's always somebody at the top who gives the process direction and implementation.
		Though the engine only displaced 265 cubic inches and came with a two-barrel carburetor giving it 162 horsepower, it was obvious the engine had serious performance potential.

	Green Car Congress: Cadillac to Preview First Diesel
		These 350 cubic inch V8 diesels were converted gas engines and were extremely unreliable, much the same as the V8-6-4 engine in the Seville around the same time period.
		In theory, this particular engine was supposed to switch from eight to six to four cylinders depending on driving conditions.
		As Dale said, the Oldsmobile diesel engines used in the late 70's were not converted gas engines and the problem was not with the head bolts or any other features on the engine.

	2007 Cadillac XLR Roadster Review - Edmunds.com
		Yet another entry from Cadillac to show the world it's serious about competing with the top European and Japanese luxury brands, the two-seat Cadillac XLR roadster is the company's flagship vehicle.
		Though its styling and Cadillac badge will appeal to those looking to roll up to the valet in something different from the status quo, the XLR comes up short in terms of maximum performance and interior detailing when compared to its German rivals.
		The Cadillac XLR debuted for the 2004 model year with a five-speed automatic transmission (with a manual shift mode) instead of the current six-speed automatic.

	Car Talk Bulletin Boards: Disabling 2 cylinders in a V8 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A team of engineers in school successfully did this, except they went from a V6 to a V4.
		When GM did this with the Cadillac in the 80s (V8/6/4) - it was a flop - principal reason was the "controls" were not very good.
		The check engine light will be triggered, the engine will run poorly, and the catalytic converter will eventually burn up from the excess unburned fuel.

	PM Owners Report: Cadillac DeVille - Popular Mechanics
		In its golden age, Cadillac took pride in launching the world's important automotive advances: the electric self-starter (1912), the 2-plane V8 crankshaft (1924), the synchromesh transmission (1927), the V16 engine with hydraulic valve lifters (1930), the modern high-compression overhead-valve V8 (1949), antilock brakes (1971) and airbags (1974).
		Cadillac was also the industry's design leader, popularizing tail fins (1948), the hardtop (1949), the wraparound windshield (1953) and quad headlights (1957).
		Cadillac's prestige has taken a big hit since then with embarrassments like the V8-6-4 engine, a fault-ridden diesel, the Cimarron front-drive subcompact and the recent Catera debacle.

		With its supercharged 4.4-liter Northstar V8 engine—all 469 hp and 439 lb-ft of it—sport-tuned suspension and distinctive styling, the V-Series rendition of the Cadillac STS had most of us expecting a superior luxury ride around town and great things to emerge at the test track.
		“Cadillac has to decide if it really wants to be in the performance-sedan business or just stick with the commodious luxury four-door arena.
		I chose the Cadillac STS-V over the BMW M5 and Jaguar Super V8 because the car’s $77,090 price represents a better value for a limited-production piece, and I have not been disappointed.

	Cadillac Allante Parts @ Car Parts Wholesale
		This ultra-luxury roadster when first introduced had a 4.1 liter port fuel injected (PFI) V8 engine which is based on the standard Cadillac throttle-body injected V8 engine block but it was later replaced by a 4.5 liter PFI V8 rated at 200 horsepower.
		This powerful engine lasted as Allante's power source until 1993, its last year of production when the Allante was replaced by a more powerful engine, the Allante received the 4.6 liter Northstar DOHC engine with VVT rated at 295 horsepower.
		Perhaps that's the reason why the Cadillac Allante was said to be modern in the true North American sense yet retains all the sense of a classic Italian beauty.

	Test Drive Notes: Cadillac Catera (2001)
		This is quite different from previous Cadillacs, which tended to overdo interior trim to gaudy levels only Detroit could possibly attain.
		Cadillac claims this is a five-seater, but the back-seat passengers may want to draw straws to see who has to sit over the drive-shaft hump.
		Cadillac deserves credit for refusing to infest the Catera's dashboard with a video screen, an abomination to which so many other luxury-car makers have succumbed.

		If you saw a Cadillac in one driveway and a Mercedes next door, you had to conclude that the Mercedes buyer owned a more prestigious car, partly because he'd been willing to pay more for it.
