I thought I heard that a couple years had the 'baby' LT1 in the Caprice's. But I am assuming that we know its the 350 so its a common practice..

In fact I just happen to have a set of stock alum heads in my shop that have sitting around for a while, waiting to be used..PM me if you are interested...
