1996 Caprice Classic 5.7L V8 LTI

This is my wonderful 1996 Chevy Caprice Classic. It's got a 5.7L V8 LT1-350 Small Block Engine. 270 Horsepower, 330ft lbs Torque. Reverse Flow Heavy Duty Cooling System with External Transmission Cooler, Large Cooling Fan, EO3 Heavy Duty Sport Suspension, Heavy Duty Rear Drum Brakes, Limited Slip Rear Differential. 2.93 Gears, 4 Speed Automatic Transmission. B4U Tow Package, G80 and LT1 Codes. Only 78,000 Original Miles on this bad boy. A simple search would prove that this Caprice is Slightly Rare in that it's codes reflect only 9,046 where made. This is definitely one of the best looking and running Chevy Caprice Classics on KZread.

    My dad used to have a caprice in navy blue color back in 1996 in Saudi Arabia. I still remember its power and smooth ride when he used to drop me to school. Brings me old memories :( Nice video and definitely worth watching the mighty Chevy.

    I have a 1996 Caprice with the LT1 that I purchased new. Currently has under 20,000 miles & the original Good Year RSA Touring tires. Reprogrammed ecm with a Hypertech; took it up to 140 mph one time. Not bad for a true, full size vehicle.

    I’m kind of skeptical. The rubber would’ve went bad after 25 years. It really would be safe to go down the highway with 25 year old tires. Also at 108 mph the car would stop accelerating. The car is actually rated at 250 SAE horsepower and 310 foot pounds of torque. The V08 cooling option with mechanical fan takes away horsepower and torque. The impala and the police 9C1 both came from the factory with electric fans and were thus rated at 260 horsepower and 330 ft lbs torque. The Buick roadmaster and the Cadillac Fleetwood and Cadillac Fleetwood all came standard with the LT1engine and electric fans. The V08 mechanical fan heavy duty cooling was an option on the Cadillac and the Roadmaster. If you ordered a non police Caprice with the LT1, it automatically came with the V08. No non police Caprice cars came with electric cooling fans. The caprice with a LT1 was seen as a hauling vehicle for the family. so they just gave every LT1 the heavy duty V08 mechanical fan option, whereas the Buick and the Cadillac were seen as something luxurious with more power. That’s why they offered the roadmaster and Fleetwood standard electric fans for more power. Cadillac and Buick were a higher grade vehicle so they gave them the option if they wanted to have electric fans or the V08 mechanical fans. No options such options for retail Caprice.

    This Caprice has an external transmission cooler. Essentially their is a second radiator just for the purpose of cooling the transmission. More than likely that is the reason the fan is setup the way it is. :)

    The G80 code is for "Limited Slip" or AKA "Positraction". The B4U code is a Package. The Caprice Classic LT1 and B4U package includes many specific RPO items, sych as coil springs, shocks, a heavy-duty cooling system with mechanical fan, FE3 sport suspension. B4U codes are slightly rare, only a little over 9,000 were made.

    You have correct information :) I simply miss typed a key when I created the videos description. It should read as 270hp. The extra 10hp was gained through an all round tune-up, new air intake filter, trans fluid, Royal Purple synthetic motor oil and updated or upgraded software. The update or upgrade was done by a master mechanic with his own computer setup in his personal garage.

To run that mechanical fan draws horsepower and torque. You are so full of shit if you think you’re getting 20 hp from a tuneup and and oil change-Even with a cold air intake.
