Replying to: bumpy (May 19, 2008 11:20 am) 1948 Cadillac used the former "flathead" engine. The Kettering Valve in Head first appeared in the 1949 Cadillac. It had 331 c.i. and a 7.5 Compression Ratio. Behind it was a 4 speed Hydra Matic, but the Rocket 88 in the Olds was the screamer at the time.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 19, 2008 11:32 am) Thanks for the info, and opinion. I have had the car's engine evaluated and it has 2 cylinders with zero compression and the others have around 100 lbs. "Tired out" is how the mechanic described it. He is looking for a possible swap but no luck so far. He is going to get back to me in a few days with pricing and options. In the mean time, I am driving it around a little and letting my son get a feel for the good old days. (He is 16 with his permit). Thanks again, Bill
