The engine you have is likely the LO3 option code, it was the base 305 used in the RS Camaro and Firebird those years. Hardly a barn-burner, I think it was rated at 170 horsepower. Try www.thirdgen.org and read the TBI tech board- don't mention this is in a Caprice, they are real specific about keeping the topics third gen Camaro/Firebird related. However, they do respond well to bolt on mods. Any cam change more than slight will require chip tuning. Try www.tbichips.com several people have used him with good results. Keep in mind you have a small cube engine pushing a heavy full size Caprice, so try to maximize low end torque with your bolt ons. If you have to go into the short block it's not worth it, a 350 is the same money to build and core blocks are plentiful. Also headers and less restrictive exhaust will depend on what if any emissions testing you have in your area.
