Cadillac V16 Engine - V12

V12

Cadillac also built a V12 engine based on the Series 452 engine for 1930 through 1937. It retained the 45° vee-angle and displaced 368 cubic inches (6.0 L) from a 3.125 in (79.4 mm) bore and 4 in (100 mm) stroke. Output was rated at 135 hp (101 kW) with two carburetors. The cars were designed to make a statement, so all engine wiring and plumbing was hidden from view.

The V12 was used in the Fleetwood-bodied V-12 models:

• 1930–1935 Series 370 ("A" through "E")
• 1936–1937 Series 80/85
