What engine is in a 79 caprice?

The 1979 Chevrolet Caprice offered a variety of engines, depending on the trim level and options chosen. The most common were:

* Small-block V8s: Typically a 305 cubic inch (5.0L) or a 350 cubic inch (5.7L). These were the most prevalent engines.

* Large-block V8: A 400 cubic inch (6.6L) V8 was also available, though less common than the smaller V8s.

Without knowing the specific trim level (e.g., Classic, Coupe, Landau) and options selected, it's impossible to say definitively which engine *that particular* 1979 Caprice had. You'd need to check the vehicle's documentation (owner's manual, build sheet if available) or the vehicle identification number (VIN) to determine the exact engine.
