Re: 1985 caprice interceptor

GM SEO vehicles really had no special engines. If there were two choices in a given displacement, the more powerful of the two is what often landed in the SEO chassis.

In the case of the 1985 Caprice Classic, you could have had a 262 CID EFI V-6, one 305 CID carbed engine, one 350 CID carbed engine, or a 350 Olds diesel. A "plain" Caprice could have had a 231 V6.

An '85 Caprice 350 would have been a flat tappet cam, two-piece real main seal, two bolt main cap, and 9.2:1 compression with the probable 093 heads. It would strain to make about 210 HP, but with plenty of torque.

The transmission was likely a TH700-R4, but might have been a TH200-4R. You can look at the pan bolt pattern to verify that.
