how do I tell?outwheelin 04-03-2008, 07:58 PM 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. silicon212 04-03-2008, 08:29 PM 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. outwheelin 04-03-2008, 09:09 PM Thank you for the info. GreyGoose006 04-03-2008, 09:12 PM a friend of mine has an impala ss that he put a police interceptor sticker on. i told him that it was blasphemy but he didnt care randy78 04-05-2008, 09:17 PM anyone who says interceptor and chevy together knows not a single thing about vehicles in general stay away from them mike561 04-05-2008, 09:50 PM yeah police interceptor is very ford-ish, too bad chevy diddnt make some type of trademark emblem that was put on the 9c1 cars though Blue Bowtie 04-06-2008, 02:10 AM "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. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
