Looking for a reliable used Cadillac engine for sale? You've come to the right place. At Turbo Auto Parts, we stock low-mileage, inspected used Cadillac engines for every model and year — from the classic DeVille to the modern Escalade and CT5. Whether you need a Cadillac engine replacement after a breakdown or you're rebuilding a project car, our nationwide inventory has you covered.
Every used Cadillac engine we sell goes through a rigorous multi-point inspection by certified technicians. We verify mileage and condition against authorized dealership service records, so you know exactly what you're getting. With a 3-year or 30,000-mile warranty, free shipping to commercial addresses, and a 15-day money-back guarantee, buying a used Cadillac engine has never been easier or more risk-free.
Why Choose a Used Cadillac Engine Over Remanufactured?
A remanufactured engine is rebuilt from the ground up and typically costs significantly more. A quality used Cadillac engine, properly inspected and sourced from a low-mileage vehicle, can deliver hundreds of thousands of additional miles at a fraction of the price. For drivers who want a cost-effective Cadillac engine replacement without sacrificing reliability, a used engine is often the smarter choice.
At Turbo Auto Parts, we source our used Cadillac engines from a network of over 500 junkyards and salvage partners nationwide, giving us access to the largest used Cadillac engine inventory online. We hand-pick only engines that meet our strict quality standards.
Cadillac: A Legacy of Powerful Engines
Cadillac is the luxury vehicle division of General Motors and one of the oldest automotive brands in the world — fourth in the United States, behind only Autocar, Oldsmobile, and Buick. Known for its slogan "Standard of the World," Cadillac has consistently delivered powerful, refined engines that have defined American car culture for over a century.
Cadillac holds a strong presence in the United States, Canada, China, and 34 additional global markets. At its peak in 2019, the brand sold nearly 400,000 units worldwide. While European rivals like BMW and Mercedes have challenged Cadillac's dominance in the 21st century, demand for used Cadillac engines remains consistently high — especially for iconic models like the Escalade, CTS-V, and Northstar-powered DeVille.
Best Used Cadillac Engines by Model — Specs & Details
Cadillac 331 V8 (1949–1955)
The Cadillac 331 V8 is where it all began. Produced from 1949 to 1955, this 5.4L overhead-valve V8 produced up to 180 hp and 340 lb-ft of torque. It was featured in the iconic 1949 Cadillac Series 62, the 1953 Cadillac Eldorado, and the 1953 Cadillac DeVille. What made this engine groundbreaking was its high-compression ratio, high-flow intake design, and hydraulic valve lifters — all innovations that set a new benchmark in American performance at the time. If you're restoring a 1950s Cadillac classic, a used 331 V8 is the authentic choice.
Cadillac 429 V8 (1964–1967)
The Cadillac 429 V8 was produced from 1964 to 1967 and displaced 7.0 liters, producing up to 375 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque. It powered the 1964 Cadillac DeVille, 1964 Cadillac Fleetwood, and the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado. Legendary for its whisper-quiet, exceptionally smooth operation, the 429 V8 became the gold standard for luxury performance cruising. Drivers restoring mid-60s Cadillac models rely on used 429 V8 engines to recreate that signature silky power delivery.
Cadillac 500 V8 (1970–1976)
The Cadillac 500 V8 remains one of the most celebrated American engines ever built. Produced from 1970 to 1976, this 8.2L giant produced up to 400 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. It powered the 1970 Cadillac DeVille, 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood, and the legendary 1970 Cadillac Eldorado. Featuring large valves, a forged steel crankshaft, and an oversized oiling system, the 500 V8 was built for effortless, mile-eating performance. A used Cadillac 500 V8 is a prized find for classic car collectors and restoration enthusiasts alike.
Cadillac 368 V8 (1980–1984)
The Cadillac 368 V8 was produced from 1980 to 1984, displacing 6.0 liters and delivering up to 170 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. It appeared in the 1980 Cadillac Seville, 1980 Cadillac Eldorado, and 1980 Cadillac Fleetwood. Designed to meet increasingly strict emission regulations of the early 1980s, the 368 helped Cadillac navigate one of the most challenging decades in American automotive history. It remains an important engine for owners restoring early 80s Cadillac models.
Cadillac 4.9 V8 (1991–1995)
The Cadillac 4.9 V8 was produced from 1991 to 1995, displacing 4.9 liters and generating up to 205 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. It was offered in the 1991 Cadillac DeVille, 1991 Cadillac Fleetwood, and the 1993 Cadillac Seville. Serving as a transitional engine between the old-school large-displacement V8s and the sophisticated Northstar era, the 4.9 V8 struck a balance between power and cleaner emissions. A used Cadillac 4.9 V8 is an affordable and reliable replacement engine for early 90s Cadillac owners.
Cadillac Northstar V8 (1992–2011)
The Cadillac Northstar V8 is arguably the most iconic modern Cadillac engine. Produced from 1992 to 2011, this all-aluminum dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) V8 displaced between 4.0 and 4.6 liters and produced up to 325 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. It was featured in the 1993 Cadillac DeVille, 2005 Cadillac STS, and the 2004–2009 Cadillac XLR. The Northstar V8 was a technological leap for Cadillac — with advanced variable valve timing, a sophisticated cooling system, and a distinctive exhaust note. A used Northstar V8 is one of the most in-demand Cadillac engine replacements on the market today.
Cadillac V-Series Supercharged V8 (2004–Present)
The Cadillac V-Series Supercharged V8 is the performance crown jewel of the Cadillac lineup. Based on the legendary GM small-block architecture, this 6.2L supercharged V8 produces up to 640 hp and 630 lb-ft of torque — making it one of the most powerful production V8s ever offered in an American luxury car. It has powered the 2004 Cadillac CTS-V, the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V, and the 2019 Cadillac CT6-V. With a track-ready power band that can be activated at the turn of a button, the V-Series engine transformed Cadillac's image in the performance segment. A used Cadillac V-Series supercharged V8 is highly sought after for engine swaps and high-performance builds.
