lt1 engine swap for classic car
K, i have a 1974 corvette with a 95 lt1 under the hood. I kept with the computer and fuel injection, and am happy with it so far. I am looking for others who have done the same type swap so we can help each other with problems, or ways to better the performance. thanks! pix of the engine i used are in my profile.

Sorry I'm late in my reply here, but the LT1 engine was standard, and the only engine offered, in the 1994-96 Caprice wagon. In fact, the 5.7 LT1 was the standard engine in MOST of those 1994-96 B-bodies! There was also a 4.3 V-8 version with 200 hp, but the only car that offered it was the base Caprice. There was a nicer Caprice, an LS I think, that had the 5.7 standard. About 10 years ago I was looking for a newer used car to replace my aging 1989 Gran Fury ex copcar, and I drove a '94 Caprice with the 4.3 and a '96 with the 5.7 back-to-back. The 4.3 was okay...probably almost as fast as my Gran Fury, but probably a lot more economical. That 5.7 was one wild ride, though! I would have bought it, but the dealership started playing games. And then, like 2 weeks later, I ended up buying a new 2000 Intrepid, so I was pretty much out of the market for a new-ish used car.
