i'm just throwing in this 1930 Cadillac V/16 since it is so excellent. they don't make off the shelf hot cams for these guys. somebody had to grind one especially for this engine. i saw one of these in a Model A hot rod once. not much room for anything else but it went like fast! these engines in stock form displaced 452cu.in. and were extremely smooth in operation. they only made a little over 4,000 of them. maybe during the great depression wasn't a good time to come out with such an expensive car.
