I believe the 4100's are gone and only the 4.5 is available and is a direct interchange.

I WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE MY CADILLAC 4.1 ENGINE TO HAVE MORE PERFORMANCE. I

HAVE SEEN A 1985 WITH A 350 ENGINE. IS THIS POSSIBLE AND CAN YOU DO SUCH A

SWAP? ANY INFORMATION ON THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED:

THANKS:

Mr. ***,

We limit upgrading this engine to a custom version of the 4.5 liter engine for a few different reasons, not the least of which is laws from state to state that consider a complete engine change the removal of legally required anti pollution equipment. (fines)

The other alternatives are also heavy and require a computer change, front end alignment, changing the brake proportioning valve, myriad bracket pulley, plumbing and bracket changes, manifolds, exhaust, etc. In short, if you find someone to do it, add at least a few thousand dollars. We party poopers won't do it at any price. ()

The 4.5 liter engine improves the power situation significantly for not a lot more money and it's difficult to tell the different from the original HT4100 engine other than the power increase.

Having said this, you should know that the design is almost identical to the 4.1 from a reliability standpoint BUT we make over a dozen major changes and improvements to the original engine, whether 4.1 or 4.5. to make it very reliable.
