Very interesting.Well, its not the refined pedigree of a CTSV, but I wanted to learn what I'm doing first before I turn myself loose building and tuning on an actual nice car like the caddy. I joined here because I'm thinking about a CTSV as my next project and there is also more activity here than on the caprice forum.
Last year I took a 2013 Chevy Caprice PPV with no engine and used a virgin 6.2 block to turn it into something halfway decent and fun to drive. Full specs are in my signature below, so I wont bother repeating it. Instead here are a few pics, enjoy. I did 100% of the work myself (son helped too). Including electronics, tuning, fabricating, 3D printing custom parts for it.

Nice! It would be a bit of a drive for you, but my son and I (he has an '04 GTO) went to the Holden Cookout this year and it was pretty cool! Lots of Caprice PPVs, GT0s, G8s and Utes. Plus it was just a good time. They do it every year.
