Piston_Head’s 1994 Chevrolet Caprice

Occasionally I get to the track and have some fun. The car is a big, fat, four door sedan, but it gets itself down the track in a respectable amount of time !!! Even the very occasional blast around the autocross course is fun in this boat !! Not every trip ends on a happy note. I did find myself stranded down in Indianapolis with a tranny that decided to give out. Luckily, U-haul came to the rescue !! What's a little hiccup now and then ?

The car has been lowered using an Eibach Pro kit and Bilstein shocks at all four corners. Air-Lift 1000 load helper springs help keep the rear from sagging to much due to all the added weight from the stereo.BMR Fabrication extended length, adjustable rear control arms center the wheels in the wheel wells.The rear axle housing was sandblasted and treated to completely new internals. 3.73 gears and an Eaton posi.

383ci. Stroked LT1 Gm 846 camshaft, Eagle steel crank, Speed Pro pistons, ported and polished factory iron heads. This is what GM should have installed at the factory !! The BBK 58mm throttle body does not fit the stock manifold without enlarging the bores a few mm's. Trying to keep the intake somewhat clean ! There where a few spots that needed additional clearance. Finished product fits the new Nitrous plate and throttle body perfectly. What a pain in the Butt getting the hard lines to fit nicely. I stripped it all back down and had the new bracket and what not powder coated, then started re-assembly. Then everything got mocked up again, to check for fitment. I couldn't wait, so I set the intake on the car, just to see what it looked like. Heck, I even half assed the engine dress on !! Stainless steel SLP shorty headers got coated with Ceramachrome at Fireball Coatings . And a 3" Torque Tech exhaust with Dynomax Race Magnum mufflers get rid of the exhaust and add a nice rumble to the BeaSSt.(alright .... Yes it's loud) To add a little wow factory under the hood Reg See did lots of custom airbrush work. I also had ABC Powdercoating coat everything I could remove in either black or purple. There are a few items waiting patiently in my basement. A Nitro Dave's 58mm plate system, a BBK 58mm throttle body, 3.5" f-body MAF and some more custom tuning by Bryan at PCM For Less . Along with a new RAISS intake system from Dan @ Clear Image

The door handles where shaved and a Streetworks Gemini remote door popper kit was installed. The antennae was shaved as well as all the moldings, emblems and hood ornament. Then a Dupont Chromabase black basecoat was laid down and covered in Dupont clear urethane. Followed by custom mixed Dupont purple pearl ghost flames and a few more layers of clear.

An Eclipse CD8061 head unit controls the audio system through a 16 volt balanced line out. Custom fiberglass front doors contain two Eclipse 8062 - 6 1/2" component sets in a sealed chamber, which are fed about 200 watts rms. The stock dash pad was cut to fit a modified Eclipse 8042 - 4" component set. The ventilation ducts beneath it had to be cut and fiberglassed back in a different route to keep the A/C functioning. The area that I installed the 4" component set was so small I had to modify the actual basket of the mids quite extensively. I'm guessing that will void the warantee !! Another set of Eclipse 8062 - 6 1/2" components are installed in the rear deck along with 3 - 10" Eclipse 8700 series subs that are in sealed chambers firing into the rear seat. All of these speakers are powered by 3 Nakamichi PA series amplifiers. One PA1002 powers the front doors. Another PA1002 powers the subs and the third PA504 powers the dash and rear speakers. Just had to add a little polished stainless steel to the trunk for the "Bling" factor and it's good to go !!

The interior got a complete two tone makeover. The dark charcoal leather bucket seats and rear bench from a 1998 Bonneville SSEi where installed. You can see that a new black carpet and custom made floor matts from Dodge Custom Carpets found their way onto the floor. A variety of the interiors trim pieces where painted black and the center console, rear deck carpet and dash pad where either re-upholstered or painted black as well.
