5.3L in a 89' Caprice 9C1
#81
Just an update to any still following this, the Caprice is still running strong, no other mechanical failures to speak of other than the intake manifold issue...I've put about 15,000 miles on it in 2.5 years. I get about 12 mpg average with it. I've been to the race track a few times, and fastest I'm able to get down the track on 275/60/15 street tires is a 12.08 @ 118 mph. 4100 lbs.
here's a video of it after going back together fixing the intake.
here's a few passes at the local drag strip.
and a video on the dyno.
