If the Caprice has a Chevy motor then you are out of luck. The Olds 307 Uses the GM BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac) bellhousing bolt pattern. If you want to swap a Trans in, you will need to find a donor from a Older Cutlass.
Why would you want to perform this swap? This will change your final drive ratio, making highway cruising and gas milage a little less tolerable.
