So after many years of reading on this forum and wanting to upgrade my 4.3 a simple cold air intake snowballed into an all out project! I’ve owned many caprices over the years but never was able to keep them long enough to start performance upgrades so here I am after I0 plus years finally giving it a shot.
when I first bought the car it was in a pretty neglected condition. The reservoir was full of the dreaded orange mud, so naturally I replaced everything cooling related after flushing the engine for a few weeks and all was well.
After dealing with the cooling my fuel pump went out so I went ahead and installed a racetronix fuel pump kit with there stand alone wiring harness for it as well, the install was pretty straight forward with a big help from 4DoorSS write up of his install and I had it done in a few hours after modifying the sending unit for the bigger pump, and everything work as should.
As more time passed I began to want more ponies under the hood so after looking around I found 377lt1 engine for sale close by me and picked it up. The I went ahead and broke the engine down for inspection and to ID the crank and cam that is in it and everything checked out that the seller claimed was inside so it’s off to buy some fancy parts for it. This past weekend me and a friend began reassembling the engine and so far this is where I’m at with it. I will add more info and pics as I continue this long over due project as I have bought tons of goodies for
