We just got a new tech in my shop that's into caprices. Owns a mid 90's land yacht that he swapped an lt1 into. Says he has a spare that he wants to unload for cheap. $300 takes everything. I'm sure it chevy salutes but he said it didn't smoke aside from that. ~100k on it if I remember correctly.

Questions? Ask away.

ticks? Knocks? wiring all there?

He says it's fine. I think he was going to swap it into another caprice but decided not to. As far as I know all the wiring is there. I can double check tomorrow though.

Thats a killer deal, makes me wanna have a freak accident and blow a few rods thru the 305. Twisted Evil

I love that engine, learned how to drive on a '97 Z28.

I would love to get my hands on that swap, but I dunno if my income will support all other things I'd need...

Where abouts in Washington is it?

Tacompton, err Tacoma. South Sound area. He's got a truck I can ask him how far he'd meet someone.

That'd be cool, Id have to figure a way to get up there with a truck.
do you think you'd be able to get any pics?

Oh and what year is the engine?

What is it out of? Caprices also came with a small displacement (265ci) Gen II engine (L99) that looks identical to an LT1. Look for "5.7L" cast into the block if its an LT1 or "4.3L" if its an L99. Wink

really? 4.3 V8? thats good to know.
any word on this motor Ian?

iansane · Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 9:18 am Post subject:

It's from a 9c1 cop car caprice, I believe a 94-95 and it's definitely a 5.7. I think he originally had the 4.3 in his caprice and got a package deal on two cop cars.

So it's OBDI MAF with cast iron heads..
The only thing I'd be worried about is the serp belt set-up from the caprice fitting in a third gen.

A buddy of mine is interested as well. OBDI is fine but if its aluminum I might have a taker.

Still avaliable? ready to swap in?
Sorry about all the questions...
