'94-'96 GM B-body 260/299 LT1 350 sedan or wagon stocker?

[QUOTE=6130;644873]Anybody here race one?

Are they a viable combo without having to mortgage my home?



This a rocket combination. I set out to build it multiple times and still have a ton of core parts for one. This a 1.50 under ride in the right hands. I will tell you the stock rear end will expire quickly. The combination really needs a good 12 bolt. It is not a cheap ride but has great potential to be a number one qualifier and reliable.

KBB says they're worth about two grand, but the ones I've seen for sale all have pie in the sky asking prices four to five times that...

Thank you, Paul...

Also available in the Buick Roadmaster line.The wagon is in the guide..Don't know why the sedan is not.
Cadillac Sedan DeVille... Not in the book either, but I always thought it would make a good cruiser and street bracket car.

Yeah, I was looking at the Roadmaster Estate wagon too...

I belong to a large B-body club.

Own a 94 Caprice Wagon and 1995 Impala SS
Ran the Impala SS as F/PS at IHRA and Association races.
Best run was at Cecil 12.47 at 107mph at 4200 lbs.
Ran wagon when SS was down and ran 14.95 90mph

Wagon has a Boxed frame making it very strong.
Will fall in M or N/SA. Around 4300lbs in M.

Both cars use PerformaBuilt 4L60E’s.
Installed in SS 6 years ago and run about 20 meets a year.
The 8.5 inch rear is very strong. Lots of upgrades available.
Never broke a rear in the 95SS racing it for 20+ years.
Owned ‘since new.

Use a Truck case as it is stronger.
Have that one in the Wagon. installed 5 years ago.
Handles trailering the SS over the Appalachians in the heat.
Going strong..compared to the last 7 that failed built by others.

Just installed a Bullet Stocker cam moving to K/SA.
SS is Natural L. K Light and M heavy.
Decal the front grill with CAPRICE and run J/SA.

The chassis is the same as a 1964 Chevelle/GTO/GM.
Dick Miller has what you need.
The axles are slightly wider.
Use a Metco Lower Arm add an SS roll bar and Airbags

I have rebuilt every moving component in the wagon.
Been an ongoing restoration and has 270k miles and burn no oil.

Pulled the SS engine it had 205k miles on it.
Still had the factory hone marks on it.
Rebuilt as forged 383 and have not installed yet in the wagon.
Jeff Warren built the Stocker engine..

The Cylinder heads use the Vortex ports.
Joe Mondello wrote a article about it in 2011.

Prices are rising quickly as more get fixed up.
Hard to find one clean or with low miles.

Hope this helps.
