no...caprices i know for sure had the baby lt1...it was a 4.3 litre...smaller crank i believe but slvr could probably do better than that. i know there's a guy who is planning to take a regular lt1 block and using a smaller crank and making it a 302 CI...rev it to the moon! lol
The "baby" LT1 (L99) was a 4.3L motor with a 3.736 inch bore and a 3 inch stroke. It had the same pistons from the Vortech 5000, it was a 2 bolt main block and had iron heads.

slvr, they are calling the new automatic motor in the 2010 camaro the L99 according to the PDF you can download from chevy...... go figure that out 
I thought it was the "LQ9", but the PDF clearly calls it the l99

I know they're calling the new one the L99, pretty lame in my opinion. With all the different combinations (yes, not permutations since order matters) of alpha-numerics you would think GM would be able to select one they haven't used yet.

that makes sense actually, because the camaro concept was originally going to be the ls2 (and therefore lq9 for auto) before they made the ls3 for the vette.
