how do I tell?
I just got a 94 caprice classic wagon. I was told it had the 350 police interceptor.
The sticker on the front of the car says 5.7L which I know is the 350. Does this mean I have an lt1? If not what do I have? What exactly is the police interceptor and how do I tell if I actually have it? It has the dual exhaust if that makes a difference.

Re: how do I tell?
A police interceptor is a Ford trademark. You may be relieved to know you do not have a Ford engine in your Chevrolet.
If you have a '94, and it is a 5.7, you then indeed have an LT1 as that was the only 5.7/350 offered on that car in that model year. The LT1 was used in 9C1 (police) and civilian cars, there is no difference between the engines on any of these. A Caprice LT1 offers 260HP and 330 lb. ft. TQ. All LT1 cars have dual exhaust.

Re: how do I tell?
"Police Interceptor" merely means that the modular engine will have liner seal failures and start blowing oil at about 70,000 miles. The LT1 is a one-piece block casting,and doesn't suffer that weakness. Besides, it makes substantially more torque and power than the mighty 280-ish inch Ford ever had a wet dream about.
