Caprice LT1
So after blowing up my race cars LT1, I picked up an LT1 from a caprice police car. I didn't get a computer, how bad do you think it's gonna run with my current 95 computer having the rion heads?

You have not gotten any good replies too this point.
The 4.3L was base engine in ALL the 94-95 Caprice sedans be they civilian or police use, and the 5.7L was optional be they civilian or police use. Wagons were 5.7L standard as were Fleetwoods and Roadmasters.
The b-body LT1s got the same 24lbs injectors the LT1 f-body did 94-97.
All the sensors except for the MAF are the same and the b-body has 2 knock sensors instead of one, there was a PN change for all 94-5 use one PN and 96-97 use another, 96 everything got a CPS the earlier stuff lacked.
The water temp sender for the dash is in the passenger side head on the b-body, can just move it too the drivers side for the f-body.
The f-body tuning wont be quite right for the b-body motor but is close enough it will run and drive safely and fine.
Only real possible snag would have been if you had a 93 with the 22lbs injectors and then used the 24lbs from the Caprice but you said your computer is a 95 so I doubt you have a 93 so no issue.
The pcms are actually the same hardware for the same years it is just the software that changed, cheap and easy to modify.
