Re: LT1 from a Caprice?
4th gen F-body has AL heads,better cam and bigger TB. The heads flow about the same. Some argue that the iron heads flow better.The accessories from the Caprice also stick out a little bit but not enough to make a difference. Everything else is the same.
You also have need to change the tailshaft of the tranny if you plan to use it.
FYI I am selling a running car with an LT1(94 Fleetwood)

A F body Lt1 has aluminum heads so it weighs roughly 50 lbs less. I believe it has a more aggressive cam as well. From what I hear the cast heads flow the slightest bit better then the aluminum though.

Re: LT1 from a Caprice?
the cam profile in a impala/caprice builds a little more low end torque,and as stated they b bodies had iron heads as opposed to aluminum-if its a reasonable price id pick it up,am considering the same swap on one of my cars too
