$700 for a drivable Caprice was the initial motivator. The 4L60E had been rebuilt recently so that helped too. The Caprice was owned by a friend so I knew the history of the car. I had wanted to go LS1, but the cost was too much for the build. My parents are building a cabin at the moment so getting funding has been tight as it is. In the end, the car is being put together for my old man, and all he is looking for is a comfortable cruiser that has EFI, overdrive, and a little more power than what he had before. I know the LS1 is a great engine, but the LT1 can more than do the job as well.
