This is a used 4.2 liter twin turbocharged V8, the high output engine that powered the top Cadillac CT6 trims. It pairs strong power with direct injection and twin turbos for quick, smooth response. A complete tested long block like this restores full power when the original engine is worn, knocking, or damaged.
Important: the 4.2 twin turbo V8 was a rare engine fitted only to the CT6 Platinum and the CT6-V for roughly the 2019 to 2020 model years. Most CT6 cars used a smaller four or six cylinder engine. Before you order, confirm your CT6 actually has the 4.2 V8 by checking the engine code or VIN.
