 Thier web page is at http://www.tmcom.com/~rockhard, and thier phone
number is (303) 660-5460 or (303) 278-6765. Jim Weed has a 500 caddy in
his Scout (http://www.off-road.com/~jweed/index.html). The swap is
cheaper if you're using an automatic transmission - since Cadillacs didn't
come with manual transmissions, you can't get a flywheel in a junkyard.
They are made, but it's a specialty item and it's expensive (I've heard
about $350 just for the flywheel).
