What wheels are those on the caprice? Do you think it would be cheaper to rebuild the lt1 to be 383 stroker with afr heads and switch over to using a carburetor or just buy a 383 already built?
The wheels on my red Caprice are Rev Classic 107s and I went the cheap route to my 383 stroker in it by buying a Camaro with the stroker already done that they couldn't get running and swapped it into my Caprice. There is a video of the car I swapped it from.
As far as cost, it depends on your power goals. If you do buy an already built engine on a deal just make sure you check everything over before you install it.
@GoodnewsBadnewsGarage OK. Thanx for the quick response. I'm on my 3rd caprice I love these cars. All of em with lt1s. The 1st was the fastest it was a ppv. Now it'd time to spice things up a bit. Tired of all these dodge vehicles trying me lol. I figured 383 stroker is the way to go. Do you think this lt1 block is good to build on? Everybody is ls swapping but I like to be a lil different 😏
It just depends on your power goals and budget. The LT1 is a great platform if you know what you're doing with them. But to beat a scat your going to need to shoot for more than 400rwhp which is doable with the right cam, heads, intake and supporting mods. I chose a small cam for low end grunt since I'm running a t56 with 3.73s and the car is a blast.
Yes, you will need to tune for a 383. What you need to do for tuning will depend on which year you're car is. 94 and 95 are OBD1 and I can point you in the right direction 96 is OBD2 and a bit tougher but there are solutions (not cheap) out there
@@julescarter1280 that would be my suggestion unless you don't mind OBD1 swapping. An old laptop, and a $60-100 cable and I can show you where you get the tuning and datalogging software for free.
Bro...the Impala emblem
Sounds good
🔥👍
I've had two Impalas was almost guarantee it's the headers

Did you guys have to do anything tuning wise ? I want to build a 383 in my impala but I’m concerned about the computer tuning

@@GoodnewsBadnewsGarage yeah I have a 96 so I might have to do the the ls1 computer conversion

@@GoodnewsBadnewsGarage ok cool I’ll keep in touch and and try to give that route a try

@468delray it isn't my car. I'm not about to tell someone else how to enjoy their own car.
