Wow interesting for a long term project now i have to decide do i keep this car original or make the swap my intention were to keep my GT as original as possible,tghis engine is running real well as of today anyway,i want to learn more on this car i have over 5g's in work so far on the car @ this is mostly because i paid to get the work done,as my profile shows im far from being a no-it-all but very willing to learn thanks for the info..... somthing to seroiusly think about for my next project but for now i will replace the cracked exhaust manifold or i should say have the manifold replaced @ save money for my next project to which may be the engine swap

Okay try this one to start.

The Caddy motors are 4.1 (bad) 4.5 or 4.9 liters from FWD cars.  The Deville, I believe has the least complicated computer swap.  Late models have major probs (OBD II cars)

You can add a carb or use the FI with a custom chip.  You do need to do some computer fooling and wiring mods.

With the 4 speed, you'll need to source/make a flywheel. Yes the actual engine bolts up to the trannies we have.

PBJ (sold me my car) has done one and is a member here.  You can email him for info and I'm sure he'll aim you in the right direction.
