Re: 5.0 to 5.7 tbi

Probably a vortec out of a 96-01 truck would be your best bet. Around 250 HP in stock form, but with an exhaust and intake, it would be closer to 275. You will need a new vortec intake as the ports and bolt pattern are different. You will also at the very least need to recalibrate the ECM. It would be preferable to just replace the ECM with something better. The two most popular choices are EBL and the later 93-95 TBI PCMs. Its also advisable to get a new fuel pump. The ACDelco TPI pump or Walbro 190LPH are two good choices. Better injectors and/or a larger TBI are also in order. 65PPH injectors would probably be the min. flowrate I would use.

Im not real familiar with which cars/trucks had similar rears to your caprice. I would assume that maybe a cop car would be the best place to look for a rear with limited slip. The other option may be to just swap out the carrier/gearset for something better.
