Depends on what you want to do with the car and your budget really. What are your plans for your Caprice? Is it just a daily driver, or are you planning on putting some $$$ into it?

Yep, all depends on how much money you want to spend on it and what your goals are for the car. If you're looking for the cheapest alternative then just find a junkyard lt1 and swap into it.

If you want to spend a little more money you could do a stock rebuild, perhaps with a mild cam. Just depends on what you want out of it.
