I have been very fascinated by this caddy beast, if you can call it that. Are there any technical books on its specific workings? I havent been able to find a darn thing yet this engine has been around for a while now. This thing could be really nice in a fbody tuned for racing.

 

An fbody "tuned for racing" needs a powerful small block chevy, not some stock, weak, Northstar engine.

 

Pay no attention to that man. The NA SBC is going the way of the dinosaur. If you want I have some specs that I could email to you. I forget which mag did an article about it HRM or CHP, but to run a Caddy in the F-body you need a 700R4 from a 2.8 and 4 of the 6 bellhousing bolts line up. Just a quick overview it's a DOHC hemi with even bore and stoke displacing 4.6L with even length individual intake runners and ports.

Yeah, the Northstarts are bada$$. I got next to a 2000 STS on Rt 287 in NJ and this guy was cookin and then lets it loose! I couldn't keep up with him. Granted the differance in engine age and average wear but still... It shocked me. Not bad for a 4.6L. At least GM still knows how to build a engine under a 5.0 LOL

Here's a fun fact about the Northstar engine: The starter is located underneath the intake manifold. GM engineering at it's best.
