find your self a good runinng 84 chevy caprice or impala with a 350 or 305 and transfer all of the parts including the wireing and smog and there you go no more crappy HT4.1 badge of death cadillac.

The 86 to 90(?) de villes came with Chevy 305's, and in '87 they used a 4 bbl Q-jet carb, not EFI.
Use one of those for engine mounts. I do not think the 305 or 350 will bolt up to the trans. However, a Buick-Olds -Pontiac V8 shares the same transmission bell housing as the Cadillac engine.
Personally, I swapped in an Olds 455 into my Fleetwood (with headers!!) It bolted up to the stock transmission as it it had been designed to fit.
