For many years, Cadillac has been synonymous with the "Standard of the World" in luxury and power, from pioneering innovative engines such as the 1915 flathead V8 to the raw power found in modern V-series mills. Our inventory of used Cadillac engines offers a way to tap into this legacy with a certified OEM motor for your sedan or SUV at a fraction of the cost of new from the dealer. 

V-Series Power: We carry several popular high-performance options, including the ultra-powerful V8 motors seen regularly in the Escalade and performance-oriented CTS-V and CT5-V variants. These are stringently tested for reliability and compression before being made available for sale. 

For modern sedans such as the CTS, CT4, and CT5, we have a range of V6 and turbocharged four-cylinder used Cadillac engines available for those seeking a perfect blend of fuel economy and performance. 

One of the most recognizable, yet complicated, used Cadillac engines is the Northstar V8 (4.6L). While smooth in power delivery, this engine has also been infamous for notorious repair issues in its early models from 1993 to 2005. 

Issues with Northstar Engines: The most widely known problem with early model Northstar V8s was head bolt failures, which would have the adverse effect of stripping the threads from the aluminum block due to excess heat that could lead to a blown head gasket. Other problems include rear main seal oil leaks and excessive oil consumption. 

Buying Advice: Although the head bolt design was improved in the later models (from 2004 onwards), a buyer of a used Cadillac engine from the Northstar generation should make sure that the motor is well inspected. Our rebuilt and remanufactured Cadillac engines take these known factory defects and turn them into reliable solutions. 

Thorough Testing: Each used Cadillac engine we sell is verified with a visual assessment and performance test to ensure the unit is mechanically sound and installation ready. 

Warranty Guarantee: Our warranty covers any manufacturing defects in the engine block and all internal components. For added peace of mind, our remanufactured Cadillac engines are often backed by a warranty of up to five years, which covers parts and labor. 

VIN Verification: We have made finding your exact compatible motor straightforward. We will simply need your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and our support staff will check the details of your request and match you up with the correct OEM motor. 

We have a range of used Cadillac engines to suit your budget and longevity needs. 

Used Engines: These provide the most cost-effective option for a direct replacement and are backed by our standard 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. 

Remanufactured Cadillac Engines: These are completely disassembled, repaired of all known factory flaws like in the Northstar models, and then rebuilt to meet or exceed OEM spec. This is the best option for people looking for maximum durability and peace of mind.
