What an awesome build. Also, so much knowledge and skill in 50 minutes. This easily could have been a ten hour series. Guess I'll just have to watch it again...
Lol! Someday I will get some help and start doing more "series" videos! Hopefully this build can help launch the channel. Unfortunately, the early analytics aren't very promising.
That is one awesome Capiece. The amount of work and attention to detail is really impressive. The car looks and sounds great. Great job, really great job.
Ya know… cause of how creative you are with finding solutions to problems I’d have to say you’re pretty artsy fartsy, hate to break it to ya but this car is gettin dangerously close to artistic genius just so ya know
@@DeathTollRacing sorry this was the first and only video I saw of yours and because you manual swapped a caprice and I have an impala with a th200 I want to manual swap I subscribed
I think you just need to get creative. I ended up using datsun 510 pedals (15 years ago). You also could just buy a stand alone hydraulic pedal and cut down the pad on the stock brake pedal to match. Wilwood makes them, as do others.
Years ago we worked for General Motors and had our ear to the door regarding the 302 Camaro. Went to the drags and we beet the 396 ss They couldn’t believe the little mouse motor . 1967
My dad has stories of exactly that as well. He had a 67 Chevelle ss396 375hp and would say you think you have the race in the bag and then that gap closes quick!
The hydraulics aren’t available any more that I used. You’re going to have to find something more universal. The yoke is just a th400 yoke if I remember correctly
only part of winning a race is, just keeping the motor running. nothing has to be fast to win, tho letting the other be faster commonly leads to... the 1 inch axles "leg's" brake doing hardly anything, and its funny because the splines on an aam1150 axle are so large that an angle grinder disk can cut new ones, because the base 1_5/8'' 4140 is about $9 a foot. lath weld cut etc. free time nothing else to do... as fas as i know those yukon axles are made of 74ksi chromoly stainless... and to find just like the 8.8 CV axles i bought, their are heat stress "tempered" spots in the worst spot, just so they brake causing larger problems going down the road. most 7018 welding rod is ratted for 84ksi, but blends into 1540 making an upper elastic yield of 105-130ksi. find some salvage ARP rod off an old oil rid going under routine maintenance ... can make a bunch of them and its 30 seconds to change them out. but anyways, that crown vic hasn't had an "N.A." EPA delete until it brakes the 8.8 axles, and i honestly don't know why my old 4.6 needs a 440 gallon per hour fuel pump just to stay running. Prohibition classification, only fuel used is 170 proof hooch or shine. if it's running, no one else is.
@@DeathTollRacing its a 1994 ford thunderbird with 42lb/hr injectors set to idle at 10psi and 23psi wide open. 440gph at 0psi just holds 150gph that can go in the engine if it boost references to 40psi as "+15psi boost". it gets annoying running a single 255lph pump because they overheat on hot days and air lock themselves. 440gph is a pusher pump for the injector pump. if it was carbureted it wouldn't need all the bs electrickery. ran it up till the O2 sensors read 0.855 mV, broke 5 CV axles on the 8.8
@@DeathTollRacing the bench was great. I grew up in these cars and as soon as I turned 16 built a nice stroker and 3.73 rear, air shocks in the back. Towed well too
@@ridiska99 I'm not sure exactly. I've been collecting the parts for this one for 15 years. I think if I hadn't done it that way, I would have been better off trying to get one a barret jackson since the monetary value of them completed would probably be cheaper than paying to build one, or even the parts to. They are starting to show up recently.
The old gm headliners, you strip off the foam / cloth. Then use cheap fiberglass resin. 3 coats give or take and it will last forever. Scuff it and apply your headliner fabric from Joann fabrics. I've done probably 20 gm full size cars and s10s / blazers that way
Very cool build! I just discovered your channel and I see you are not far from me. I'm in CDA. Do you have a build video on the 302? I looked and couldn't find it.
I don’t unfortunately because it’s been a back burner build for 10 years. Love the 302, but the efi and it are not a great combination. I should and may have to carb it. I’m going to take it to a friend to see if he can tune it, but it really hates the low vacuum below 2500 rpm. Love the cda area btw!
@DeathTollRacing thank you for the reply. I have been a fan of the 302 for many years but have not had one yet. I have been collecting parts, and I am getting close. Mine will just be a small journal 302. I hope to put it in my '68 Camaro. I have an Edelbrock crossram for it too. Did you use an off the shelf cam?
@@Captainfab406 yes. It’s a solid roller comp cams. I originally bought a duntov 30/30 for it because they sound so iconic, but went roller because I can’t leave well enough alone.
Do you know if the ZF6 changed much after 1996? I have access to i believe an LS style ZF6 from a 2002 vette. Im hoping it still can be utilized on my 96 LT1 motor. Id imagine its the same ls/sbc bellhousing one off bolt?
I’m not certain, but I’d be willing to bet it’s like the late nv4500 on the ls and they just used the old style bell housing. So if that’s the case, it’d be perfect other than the flywheel.
@@brandonpenner7802 It should. That's what they came off originally. I don't think that zf6 could have been from a 2002 vette because it would have been a transaxle transmission (rear mounted) in a c5 vette. There was never an LS in a front transmission corvette as far as I know from the factory. If it came from an f-body, I'm fairly certain it was never offered behind an LS, but some of the top end LT cars had them for some reason. What color is your tag on the trans?
@@DeathTollRacingits a blue tag wich i think is the 400ft/lbs rated one, and I definitely agree on it not being from an 02 vette because all I can find for the zr1 2002 vettes are torque tube style rear mounted transmissions. But the transmission im looking at has the usual shifter location for front style setup
It used to be super easy to find them, but not any more. They all were turned into taxi cabs back in the day and got used up. There are still some out there, but you'll have to be patient.
Not yet. To be fair I haven’t driven it much. I’m adding on to my shop and it consumed a ton of my time I wasn’t expecting. I never got it to the track or anything. 😢😢😢
Right!!! I converted this one with ‘89 seatbelts. Aside from them being cosmetically terrible, My biggest complaint with the 90 belts is they are not even restraining if you’re tallish, so if you’re in an accident, there’s 4” of space before the belt even contacts your chest.
Nice job Gavin.
Thank you! 😊
That turned out amazing looking and sounding! I love it.

Very nice. I’ve been waiting to see the full build of this. Worth the wait. You do some great work man.
Thank you! So happy to have it together! The nostalgia to me is priceless.
Love it but I'd fit in some monte ss seats.
That is one awesome Capiece. The amount of work and attention to detail is really impressive. The car looks and sounds great. Great job, really great job.
Thank you!!!! Can't wait to put some miles on it!
I am in love with this. I had a 90 9C1 former Texas Highway patrol car. Wish I had never sold it
Thanks! This one just about got sold off a few times. So glad I didn’t!
I've been watching for some time. I can't tell you enough what a great build this is. Great job!
Thanks a bunch!

Great Video. Restoring a 84 Caprice Coupe myself.
Right on!! I haven’t seen a coupe in a while. Best of luck!
🎉🎉🎉 bad ass!
Thanks!
Have a question what type of pedals did you use for the clutch swap having hard time find info on pedals for this car
I think you just need to get creative. I ended up using datsun 510 pedals (15 years ago). You also could just buy a stand alone hydraulic pedal and cut down the pad on the stock brake pedal to match. Wilwood makes them, as do others.
That intro was 🔥
Thanks!

Awesome build man! You have alot of talent and it was awesome seeing you build this masterpiece! 🤙🏾
Thank you !!!!
The hood looks killer!

There's a lot there. Sounds like your pressure regulator on your vic is stuck open. but it may be pulse width depending on the year.

Are these Box Caprices expensive now ??? I really want to build one with 3 pedals also
A lot can be priced more than they should be. Deals are still out there on them though.
Hey another awesome video. Love that transmission mount tidbit.
😆 thanks!
Hell, the bench was comfy in those
I've never had one with the bench. Always the "toad stool" buckets.
@@DeathTollRacing the bench was great. I grew up in these cars and as soon as I turned 16 built a nice stroker and 3.73 rear, air shocks in the back. Towed well too
Nice!
You did my dream build. Unfortunately im not smart enough to pull it off. Ive owned about 6 of those caprices. Good job sir!
Thank you! I hope you can find one restored to you're liking someday! This one is not ever going to be for sale unless something tragic happens.
@@DeathTollRacingamazing build. Great job. In your estimation, what should something like this cost? Part and labor excluding , donor car. Thanks

What department was that Caprice with?
Washington state patrol academy. I’m not sure if it was always at the academy or if it was just its last assignment.
BREATHE MY MAN
LOL
Subbed for more caprice and 80s gm content
Thanks for the sub!
How did you get that footage of when you turned onto the highway and drove off?
I just set a camera on a tripod since I was by myself and crossed my fingers it was still there when I got back. LOL
Where do you find these 9c1 models? When I look on marketplace all I see are regular box Chevys with big shiny wheels.
It used to be super easy to find them, but not any more. They all were turned into taxi cabs back in the day and got used up. There are still some out there, but you'll have to be patient.

Hell yea. Pipes out the back. My 87 9C1 has the first gen chevelle exhaust system on it. Pipes out the side look dumb.
