The bigger, torque happy 5.7 liter pushrod 350 cid small block V-8 had been discontinued from the Caprice lineup throughout these model years. Was it still available on the police versions?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2011-06-11 08:33	I'm not completely sure. But here is a wikipedia article that it seems someone recently made on the 1986-1990 Caprice 9C1. It's not exactly up to wikipedia standards but assuming that its correct, outlines what you want to know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Caprice_9C1_Police
Neptune ◊ 2011-06-11 23:29	So according to that article it was available on the police sedan, assuming the article is correct. I find it odd though that the 350 cid V-8 didn’t get electronic throttle-body fuel injection until 1989. I thought the cars (even the police ones) all received fuel injection well before that time...
