Caprice engine swap?

Re: Caprice engine swap?
So I'm kind of on Roadmaster overload. Been looking through Search Tempest.
Random thoughts on year:
96 has the OBD-II benefit (at least I think it is a benefit for swapping, a demerit as long as the LT1 is in there as I have to buy something in order to tune it)
94-95, still get the LT1 but OBD-I so sniffer tests for the next few years
92-93, could get the L05 to be tolerable and these have better factory gauges and may be a bit cheaper. I hope there is a way to change the gauge cluster on the 94-96 because it sucks.

$1000, needs fuel pump. No idea on rust. If there isn't it's actually a really good price because:

The seller is a comedian:
Dude, probably??? That shit is falling off. I know that isn't a huge deal, it is just funny.The only thing is the drivers side mirror will probably need replacement
Re: Caprice engine swap?
I am highly amused that a startling portion of these cars require mirror replacement. My Fleetwood did.
Re: Caprice engine swap?
Why is that? Poor GM build quality? Older owners running into stuff?
Re: Caprice engine swap?
The mirrors don't fall off. They get smashed off, probably from old people running into stuff.

Or middle aged people pushing rolling trash bins past them in cold temps... I would think...kevm14 wrote:The mirrors don't fall off. They get smashed off, probably from old people running into stuff.
I like that Torrington RMW.. You should get that one. I have some decent tank straps you could paint up and install with the fuel pump. Fuel pump is an afternoon job on these cars... If it's empty.
A motorcycle lift works well for lowering the tank. I have that too.

Yes, I saw this one before. It was so clean, I was looking for a 1996 date stamp on the photo
