Re: 1991 Caprice convertion

Look in back threads to see how to deal with that 305 to help it out a bit. We've posted this info so many times, we're blue in the face.

You can get Impala stuff in a lot of places, but it will never look right due to the rear wheel wells on your car. Just leave it as is.

Re: 1991 Caprice convertion

maybe if you buy police interceptor with heavy duty suspensions, change whole interior, grill, hood, buy side impala ss stickers, wheels, ... I think that would be better let it be or buy Impala.

Exclamation Re: 1991 Caprice convertion

That is a extreamly nice impala i wish i had one, but hey i will mayb just mk the caprice look better i could always just throw sum nice 5 spoke rims on it and possibly just get the impala front and rear clips for it to give it alittle more of a sport look but we will see, i still have to go pick up the car and see what exactly is wrong , all i know is the guy had it running fine but one day he was driving on the E-WAY and the brakes gave out so he had to "glide" untill the car fully stopped. And, according to him he was giong abotu 90 so withotu any brakes it had to b alittle scary. but from the looks of it the car is in good condition and thus hopfully i can get it running and make the 305 run alittle stronger with some upgrades ( Exhaust, cold air intake, chip ) . thanks for the help none the less.

If you have anythign else that may help it out let me know. thanks

Re: 1991 Caprice convertion

I would be very pleasured if you could write me exact parts you will buy. Im planning some 305 upgrade too, but 350 costs in czech republic about 1200 dollars in uncertain condition and any performace parts have to be ordered from US e-shops. So I cant see on my own eyes what am I buing.
