Bruce Nunnally Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 The Northstar was redesigned in 2000, so that one will probably not be your best choice.

BodybyFisher Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hey what book do you have that details engine swaps? You can purchase a combustion gas test kit from NAPA to check your head gasket http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPages/NOLM...2f+Engine+Block Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Why not repair it rather than replace it. http://www.northstarperformance.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the mounts were changed also. Even if you could get it to bolt up, it would be impossible to get the engine electronics to function properly. It would be better to repair the existing engine. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
